This is a riddler. I made this in emacs:
\\\\\\
      '\'\'\'\'\'
The backslash character is in the ascii range so you must have something 
running that is using this as a dead key. Are you saying (also) that you 
couldn't produce your above quoted text in Emacs?
Of course \ is the escape character in many contexts but that seems to be 
another issue. What piece of hardware is your keyboard?

What does C-h k AlgGr+\ say?

Perhaps the input method needs to be changed.

It shows, this:

=================================================
M-' runs the command abbrev-prefix-mark
  which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `abbrev.el'.
It is bound to M-'.
(abbrev-prefix-mark &optional arg)

Mark current point as the beginning of an abbrev.
Abbrev to be expanded starts here rather than at beginning of word.
This way, you can expand an abbrev with a prefix: insert the prefix,
use this command, then insert the abbrev.  This command inserts a
temporary hyphen after the prefix (until the intended abbrev
expansion occurs).
If the prefix is itself an abbrev, this command expands it, unless
arg is non-nil.  Interactively, arg is the prefix argument.
=================================================

Hm, obviously the key is not recognised as you wish.
I would recommend trying
M-x set-input-method
to something that seems to fit.

If this works, you could add it to your .emacs.

Good luck

[NeoRiddle]

Hi!!!

I can't put a '\' in emacs, but i dont know why, normally in Kde I put this
char pressing AltGr + \, i works in all my gentoo environment, but in emacs
it does not.
Please help me.

Thank you
