Is there a comprehensive list on the web where I can find the names of common symbols? Google unfortunately doesn't search on symbols, so it is pretty much useless there.

Specifically, what is ` called (the symbol to the left of 1 on US keyboards)?

` is the grave accent, U+0060.

Resources I can recommend: Unicode Code Charts, Wikipedia: Punctuation, Diacritic.
