In help buffers and error messages, Emacs attempts to use Unicode
curly quotes on terminals that support these characters.

What version of Emacs is that? Emacs on MS-DOS should display these
quotes as ASCII characters 'like this'. For some reason, it sounds
like Emacs thinks your terminal supports the Unicode curly quote
characters, so it tries to display them.
What does this produce inside Emacs:
M-: (char-displayable-p #x2018) RET
?
