This might be a good sign, really :-)

My hunch is that Emacs displays the correct (Unicode) characters, but that
you don't have a suitable font (set).
As a first approach, put point on one of those little boxes and enter
M-x describe-char
What happens?
You might want to install a more complete font. Unless you *want* to have
(non-ascii) Unicode characters displayed as \u2018, that is. In that case...
there should be an option for that, but I'd have to look it up, sorry.
