How to escape a character in a string?

Question

assembler

Good afternoon!
There was a problem compiling the following code:

global [email protected]

section .data
  dll EQU 'a\''

section .text
[email protected]:

The compiler did not like the line with the declaration of the constant:

lib.asm:4: warning: unterminated string [-w+other]
lib.asm:4: error: comma, colon, decorator or end of line expected after operand
C:\Users\sddvxd\Desktop\lang\asm\pro >

Please tell me how to escape the "'" character. Please do not suggest using double quotes instead of single quotes, because you need to frame large text, where, again, there are a lot of double quotes

I was already told here, I forgot that you can do this:
dll EQU `a\'`
