Backticks are a standard markdown syntax - they’re not Discourse specific. (read more [in the commonmark spec](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#fenced-code-blocks)).

But, if you want to avoid the backtick character you can indent the code by four spaces, or use the `[code]` bbcode wrapper:

* * *

Source:

```plaintext
    This is 
    some code

```

Result:

```
This is
some code

```

* * *

Source:

```plaintext
[code]
This is some code
[/code]

```

Result:

```plaintext
This is some code
```
