M-: (global-set-key (kbd "C-o") ’forward-char)

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable ’forward-char)
  (global-set-key (kbd "C-o") ’forward-char)
  eval((global-set-key (kbd "C-o") ’forward-char) nil)
  elisp--eval-last-sexp(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  funcall-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil)
  call-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil nil)
