The issue with message producing fancy quotes is new in 25.1, although
stepping with the debugger, it looks like the root cause is that the
" *Echo Area 0*" buffer becomes unibyte along with the main buffer.  So
the following shows the problem in earlier versions as well:

(set-buffer-multibyte nil)
(message "can\u2019t")
