The logic is:
1) you need to close the quotes with '
2) concatenate a single quotes using another form of quoting for instance:
\' but "'" also works
3) then you reopen the single quote for the rest of your string '
It's not a form of quoting is 3 parts put together 'A' and \' and 'B'
Why echo 'ppp\'qqq' is not OK? It can not escape single quote by \ !
because \ is not special inside single quotes
