I was suprised to learn there is no single Unicode character for that

I can think of 2 different changes to dired-move-to-filename-regexp's
value:
1. Allow ' anywhere in month names:
*** emacs-21.3/lisp/dired.el.orig Fri Feb 7 04:48:13 2003
--- emacs-21.3/lisp/dired.el Thu Jun 26 09:20:41 2003
***************
*** 1506,1512 ****
;;; Functions for finding the file name in a dired buffer line.
(defvar dired-move-to-filename-regexp
! (let* ((l "\\([A-Za-z]\\|[^\0-\177]\\)")
;; In some locales, month abbreviations are as short as 2 letters,
;; and they can be padded on the right with spaces.
;; weiand: changed: month ends potentially with . or , or .,
--- 1506,1512 ----
;;; Functions for finding the file name in a dired buffer line.
(defvar dired-move-to-filename-regexp
! (let* ((l "\\([A-Za-z']\\|[^\0-\177]\\)")
;; In some locales, month abbreviations are as short as 2 letters,
;; and they can be padded on the right with spaces.
;; weiand: changed: month ends potentially with . or , or .,
2. Allow ' just as the second character of month names:
*** emacs-21.3/lisp/dired.el.orig Fri Feb 7 04:48:13 2003
--- emacs-21.3/lisp/dired.el Thu Jun 26 09:28:56 2003
***************
*** 1510,1517 ****
;; In some locales, month abbreviations are as short as 2 letters,
;; and they can be padded on the right with spaces.
;; weiand: changed: month ends potentially with . or , or .,
! ;;old (month (concat l l "+ *"))
! (month (concat l l "+[.]?,? *"))
;; Recognize any non-ASCII character.
;; The purpose is to match a Kanji character.
(k "[^\0-\177]")
--- 1510,1517 ----
