String values can be represented in Deephaven query strings by using backticks `` ` ``.

## Syntax

```
`string`
```

## Usage

### Filter

The following example shows a query string used to filter data. This query string returns items in the `Value` column that are equal to the string `` `C` ``.

```python order=source,result
from deephaven import new_table
from deephaven.column import string_col

source = new_table([string_col("Value", ["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"])])

result = source.where(filters=["Value = `C`"])
```
