Estonian (though there are some very specific uses). But apparently it
would be wise have them at least in LO.

There are two correct options for single quotation marks: ‘ ’ (U+2018 and
U+2019) and ’ ’ (U+2019 and U+2019). I prefer the first option.
For reference: http://www.eki.ee/books/ekk09/index.php?p=2&p1=11&id=86 and
http://keeleabi.eki.ee/index.php?leht=8&id=74 (both in Estonian)

Hi Mihkel,

There are two correct options for single quotation marks: ‘ ’ (U+2018 and
U+2019) and ’ ’ (U+2019 and U+2019). I prefer the first option.
For reference: http://www.eki.ee/books/ekk09/index.php?p=2&p1=11&id=86 and
http://keeleabi.eki.ee/index.php?leht=8&id=74 (both in Estonian)

I chose the first ‘ ’ (U+2018 and U+20190)

I wouldn't call that a conflict, 1.2 then takes precedence as decimal
number. Adding "D/M" as date acceptance pattern is no problem, just how
widespread is its use and would users be aware? This could be a case for
"D.M." if that's used in writing or informal speech. I have no idea.
Would be good if fr-CH natives chimed in.

As there was no response I added "D/M" and "D.M."
