Thanks, I fixed the first part of this: Emacs should no longer ask
annoying questions when you save help buffers with curved quotes.
The second part, which happens when visiting the saved file, is not a
bug: you need to specify the encoding of files when visiting them in
locales whose default encoding is different. (Actually, I expect this
to work automatically for you, at least in "emacs -Q", but that
doesn't happen in every locale.)
