+###### Note
+
+To include a literal single quote (`'`) within a String value, escape it by using two consecutive single quotes (`''`). For example, the string `it's here` is written as `'it''s here'`. A backslash (`\`) does not escape a single quote in PartiQL for DynamoDB; using one results in a validation error.
