* bug#20707: [PROPOSED PATCH] Use curved quoting in C-generated errors
@ 2015-06-01  7:39 Paul Eggert
       [not found] ` <mailman.4052.1433144480.904.bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org>

From: Paul Eggert @ 2015-06-01  7:39 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: 20707; +Cc: Paul Eggert

Quote with curved single quotes, ‘like this’, in diagnostics
generated from C code.  This mostly uses C11-style UTF-8 strings,
e.g., u8"quote ‘like this’", with a backward compatibility macro
u8 for pre-C11 compilers.
