If you're using bash, tab completion can help out. Start typing the
"mv" command and then a backslash and the first character of the
directory:
mv \' <TAB>
Keep adding backslashes and characters until the tab completion
completes the whole name. It should add escapes so the shell doesn't
mangle the filename. Then type a space and the new name and you should
be good to go.
