I know : echo "blah blah" >file.txt works.
and that echo "" >file.txt works too.
but, what if I want to echo only ONE " (double quote) in a file.
echo ">file.txt doesn't work, is it possible doing it in a one line command?

echo accepts a number of escape sequences that start with a backslash. These sequences in Table A-12 exhibit fairly predictable behavior, except for \f , which on some displays causes a screen clear while on others it causes a line feed, and it ejects the page on most printers.
\e - Displays an escape character. \f - Displays a form feed character. \n - Displays a new line. \r - Displays a carriage return.
Using '>>' with 'echo' command appends a line to a file. Another way is to use 'echo,' pipe(|), and 'tee' commands to add content to a file.
The escape character for the Windows shell is ^, so:
echo ^" > file.txt
