The command echo ' will output a single quote character ('). In many command-line environments, echo prints the text provided to it to the terminal. Since there is nothing after the single quote to indicate a closing quote, it will simply display the single quote as is without any errors. If executed in a shell that interprets quotes, it may lead to an error due to an unclosed quote.
To correctly type a quote, type an open quotation mark, then the exact quotation, then a closed quotation mark. Punctuation that is part of the quote goes in the quotation marks and all other punctuation goes outside of the quotation marks. To indicate you've skipped some words, use an ellipsis, and use brackets to indicate that you've changed words.
They're actually not the wrong way around. Single and double quotes that are at the beginning of the quote should be hooking to the left, while closing quotes should be hooking to the right.

Yes, when typing a quote, it is important to include both the opening and closing quotation marks to denote the beginning and end of the quoted text. This helps to clearly indicate that the words within the quotation marks are being cited from another source or speaker.

You can end a quote with a quotation mark. If the quote continues in the same paragraph, a comma is typically placed before the closing quotation mark. If the quote is a complete sentence, the ending punctuation (like a period or question mark) comes before the closing quotation mark.
If a proper name or nickname is part of a quote and requires quotation marks, use double quotation marks for the overall quote and single quotation marks within the quote for the proper name or nickname.
