over score over a letter

It is *not* a left single quote in Word (which is what this
NG is about); it is a grave accent [U0060]. It can be used
in the shortcut Ctrl+`, ` to insert a left single quote if
Word's AutoFormat As You Type doesn't do so correctly, but
it does not insert the left single quote character [U2018].
And it's NOT what the OP asked for either! HOW do you do the overscore?
Jeez, talk about ignoring the OP!

It is also an unwarranted intrusion in many contexts. I was
frustrated for years with one Web site to which I posted
regularly that converted the ' character [U0027] to `,
making, for example, "don't" appear as "don`t"--very
disconcerting.

It's a left-single quote, which can be used for that
purpose in any software that recognizes it as such. TeX is
one application that uses it.
