Actually, it's not a platform thing, it's a locale thing.  On nearly every
ANSI layout keyboard (prevalent in North America, and apparently also in
China...), it's the key above the tab to the left of the number row.  On a
lot of ISO layout keyboards (used in the majority of places outside of North
America...), you instead have an extra key in-between the shift and the Z
which usually has that backquote, but not always.
