Is there a backquote on the iPhone keyboard?

Is there a backquote (backtick `) on the iPhone keyboard, and if so, where is it?

When I'm writing a post on a site in the SE family (especially SO), I want to use the backquote for inline code blocks. Under the single quote key, I've found two curly/angled quotes, but those (’ and ‘) don't seem to do the trick...

The backtick/backquote was added to the iOS keyboard in 4.1. You need to switch to the numbers keypad and then press & hold apostrophe to access it. Once the variations show up - slide your finger without removing it from the screen. Remove your finger when it's over the correct ` key.

It seems like you have to resort to a hack to use the character:

1. Go to an email address field (e.g. open up Mail and compose a new message).
2. Go to the symbols keyboard (3rd one).
3. Type the ` character located on the top left.
4. Copy and paste the character wherever you want.
