Disable backtick as a dead key on Motorola

I have a Moto G5 Stylus 2023 on Android 14. I **need** to be able to enter a backtick, but every Android keyboard I've tried (Unexpected Keyboard, GBoard, Hacker's Keyboard, MS SwiftKey) I use makes the backtick act as a deadkey. This happens even when I highlight text to be used as a code block (markdown) and use the app's UI to convert it to a code block, it still converts the required backtick(s) to diacritic accents. I connected a physical keyboard (USB via USB2Go cable), and the backtick still acted as a dead key. As this is affecting all keyboards similarly, I'm assuming this is some type of system-wide setting/behavior, but I can't see any setting that would control this. What am I missing here?
