English-language diagnostic messages will now use Unicode quotation marks in UTF-8 locales. (Non-English messages already used the quotes appropriate for the language in previous releases.) If your terminal does not support UTF-8 but you are using a UTF-8 locale (such locales are the default on many GNU/Linux systems) then you should set LC_CTYPE=C in the environment to disable that locale. Programs that parse diagnostics and expect plain ASCII English-language messages should set LC_ALL=C. See Markus Kuhn's explanation of Unicode quotation marks for more information.
