           Summary: misc/pinfo: presents Unicode symbols as garbage

           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New

misc/pinfo presents Unicode symbols as garbage even on UTF-8 terminals with
ru_RU.UTF-8 locale.

How to reproduce. Find an info file with Unicode Characters (e.g. U+2018 and
U+2019), there are many such files. For example libidn2.info has numerous "LEFT
SINGLE QUOTATION MARK" and "LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK" glyphs. View them with
pinfo and see that those multibyte characters are presented as garbage:
