You mean, the Emacs Info reader? It already does that on a TTY,
using terminal-coding-system. But the problem is that these Unicode
quotes cannot be encoded in most (all?) non-UTF encodings.
We could replace those characters via display tables.
But these solutions are only for the Emacs Info reader; the
stand-alone reader doesn't do anything like that, it simply dumps the
bytes to the screen, assuming the text is in the current locale's
encoding.

We originally produced ASCII emulations of the non-ASCII characters
used by the names of contributors in ack.texi etc., but then decided
to show them more respect by using Latin. That's how it all started.
