it depends, if you are running a plain awk file using #!/usr/bin/awk,
print "'" should work
if you are running an awk script through shell as awk '...', some 
solutions are :
# the one I prefer
awk -v q="'" '{print q "helo" q}'
# a lot complicated
awk 'BEGIN { q="'"'"'" } { print q "helo" q }'
# see man ascii
awk 'BEGIN { q="\047" } { print q "helo" q }'
awk '{ print "\047helo\047" }'
