LabelExpressionInfo with single quotes does not show labels

I want to assign a labelexpressioninfo to a labelclass for a featurelayer that may contains single apostrophes. However, these labels appear to interfere with the arcade expression construction. How can I get the label to appear? Escaping the character does not help either.

codepen demonstration issue with label "Bob's":

example:

const name = "Bob's"; const labelClass = { // autocasts as new LabelClass() symbol: { type: "text", // autocasts as new TextSymbol() color: "green", backgroundColor: [213, 184, 255, 0.75], borderLineColor: "green", borderLineSize: 1, yoffset: 5, font: { // autocast as new Font() family: "Playfair Display", size: 12, weight: "bold" } }, labelPlacement: "above-center", labelExpressionInfo: { expression: `'${name}'` } };

If working with a literal, you must "double escape" the apostrophe:

const name = "Bob\\'s"; //etc labelExpressionInfo: {expression: `"${name}"`}

Otherwise, you'll need to do the escaping in the expression itself:

const name = "Bob's"; //etc labelExpressionInfo: {expression: `Replace("${name}", "'", "\'")`}
