Hello, Emacs.

On my new PC (Gentoo GNU/Linux), byte compiling in batch mode (e.g. with
make bootstrap in the master branch) is displaying warning messages with
symbols "quoted" by the invalid character glyph (a solid square) rather
than ` and '.  Presumably Emacs is attempting to use single curly
quotes.

This is ugly and not helpful.  A fix would be appreciated.
