I'd just use a backslash as an escape character, that way it doesn't try doesn't crash since there isn't a second single quote to end the string.

var = ["\'Name"]

Generally it not advisable to have special characters in field names, or to have them start with numbers.

Thanks for the idea!

Working code below:

var = ["'\'Name"]

I avoid escape characters by using triple quotes. It is so much easier and more legible.
Except when it is the first character when it is a bit hard to see.
