How do I add an apostrophe in codes?

like

self.log('')

I want to add 'Today's word'

Three apostrophes won't do.

Apostrophe (single quote) is a special character in Python used to enclose strings, as such you must "escape" it if you want to use it as normal text: 'Today\'s word'. Alternatively you can use double quotes to enclose the string: "Today's word".
