It depends on your keyboard.

If you have a standard American keyboard, the right side of the middle row goes like this:     H J K L ;/: '/"

So it is two keys to the right of "L", shares the same key as the apostrophe, and is accesses using the SHIFT key.

But if you're using a keyboard designed for another language, it may be in a different location. Also, your code above appears to have appropriate quote marks, it would appear that you have already found it!
