I usually escape with single quotes, after
replacing every single quote in the file name with
the following incantation:
'"'"'
This ends the previous single-quoted string,
then starts a double-quoting one in which there is
only a single quote, end that one, then starts a
new single-quoting string. This is the simplest
POSIX shell quoting method I know of. An example,
the raw name:
John's $$$ "Document".txt
Becomes:
'John'"'"'s $$$ "Document".txt'
