I built emacs from git (commit a486fabb41cdbaa5813c2687fd4008945297d71d) via
git clean -dxf
./autogen.sh
./configure
make all install
I then invoked it like this
open --new
~/git-repositories/3rd-party/emacs-master/nextstep/Emacs-master.app/ --args
-Q
I then invoked info on the file elisp.info, something like this (I'm not
sure exactly what I typed, but it wound up leaving this in command-history)
(info "~/git-repositories/3rd-party/emacs-master/info/elisp.info" nil)
I then typed g Keys SPC in SPC Documentation RET
I then noticed that the description of text-quoting-style looked like
this:
-- Variable: text-quoting-style
The value of this variable is a symbol that specifies the style
Emacs should use for single quotes in the wording of help and
messages. If the variable's value is `curve', the style is
\342\200\230like this\342\200\231 with curved single quotes. If
the value is
`straight', the style is 'like this' with straight apostrophes.
It's supposed to have actual curly quotes instead of octal escape sequences.

According to the mode line, what is buffer-file-coding-system of the
buffer showing this? It should be UTF-8.

It read t:%%-; clicking the mouse says it's "t -- raw-text-unix".

That's a clear sign of a problem.
Does the elisp.info file has a Local Variables section at its end
which sets the file's encoding to be UTF-8?
