IOW, the terminal supports UTF-8, but the font it uses doesn't have
these characters covered?
Is that something that is likely to happen in real life? I was under
the impression that the General Punctuation block was well covered in
UTF-8 locales in general, and in fonts used for the default text when
UTF-8 encoding is supported, in particular. But if that's not the
case, we could provide a user option to forcibly use the display table
with ASCII glyphs for these characters, even if char-displayable-p
says they can be displayed.
