The Red Hat Font family is missing the backtick (`) symbol #42

The backtick (`) symbol is rendered as a rectangular box in all Red Hat fonts(Display, Text and Mono) in google fonts as seen in above screenshot.

You can also verify this issue through fonts.google.com

Jumping on here to confirm the issue as well. Bummer, because the Mono variant would be a lovely alternative to Source Code Pro for coding.

It's present for me in both Red Hat Mono and Red Hat Display, but it seems to automatically trigger a Compose key sequence.

For example, if I press backtick and then e, I get è just as I would when pressing Compose ` e (on Linux).

I can produce backticks by pressing the ` key twice, but the spacing is wonky.

I just tried the font and on some Python docstrings we use the backtick so it renders nicely

def whatever():
    """This would be `nice`"""

What happens, only with Red Hat Mono, is that the backtick gets rendered on top of the n and on the e in this example. Just making clear that is not the same case as the comment above. The layout I'm using is English (into., with AltGr dead keys)
