SendInput {Raw} and SendRaw won't send backtick

The backtick ` character is not sent when using either of the raw send methods.

Yes you have to use `` because this is an escape character.

That doesn't make sense for RAW. I might buy that argument for standard SendInput, but not for raw. Raw specifically states that there is nothing being translated.

It is not being translated by raw. Escape sequences are a standard part of the language affecting all commands. They are replaced long before the send command executes.

On the other hand, braces and modifiers like ! are translated by send.
