MATLAB: What is the escape character when using xlabel

Question

Hi everyone, I am trying to output, on the x axis of my graph

        z'

Now, I am using the matlab command xlabel('Z','fontsize',12,'fontweight','b');

but require an escape character so that the function does not mistake this.

python or java would have a syntax such as \ to escape but I am not having any luck with this in matlab.

Thank you!

Answer 1

xlabel('Z''','fontsize',12,'fontweight','b')

Inside Matlab strings the quote is the escape character for the quote.
