Sometimes I type something, slip and ahead of the command I type a
character accidentally like '.

The shell responds with>

I can type anything I want into that shell and it responds with>

How do I get out of that without killing the shell and bringing up a
new one?

Type another ' to close the string or hit CTRL-C. The same with double quotes.

HTH.
