Hi!
It seems like unicode was introduced into man pages on current.
While
"Include directory entries whose names begin with a dot (‘.’)"
indeed looks better than
"Include directory entries whose names begin with a dot (`.')"
, I'm concerned about (at least) minus sign, which was changed from
`-' (U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS) symbol to `−' (U+2212 MINUS SIGN) everywhere.
Now most of man pages basically provide false info, and copypasting
or search are now impossible.
