What you see here is UTF-8 represented as 8bit:

U+2018 = E2 80 98 : LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK  = ‘
U+2019 = E2 80 99 : RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK = ’

â is E2 in hex
200 oct is 80 in hex
230 oct and 231 oct are 98 resp. 99 in hex.

Make the *compilation* buffer be encoded in UTF-8 or make your LANG  
or LC_CTYPE environment variables 8 bit -- could be there is some  
option in your g++ to stay in 8 bit when printing some message.
