USING THIS TAG IS NOT THE SAME THING AS ASKING ON STACK OVERFLOW. YOU ARE ON META STACK EXCHANGE, WHERE MOST PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS ARE OFF-TOPIC. Questions specific to stackoverflow.com should be asked on meta.stackoverflow.com; such questions will be closed here.

How to format a code in a comment

I had no idea I had it on my keyboard before SO either. Kind of embarrassing for me. Here it is on EN-US on a standard English keyboard.
