It happens with this, for instance:

Right now emacs-25 fails to compile with

I can seek a good revision if that's important. But while trying to
reproduce the bug, I noticed that emacs -Q is not affected, nor a
regular emacs session (that loads my config) but the session I'm running
as a daemon does show the problem. I think that that is the real
trigger. Can you try visiting the web page above with a daemonized emacs
on GNU/Linux? Or can you tell me what data to inspect to know if Emacs
decided to show those chars on a translated form when the daemon
started?
