Dear Maintainer,

I entered "info ls" at a command prompt, and the output contained the
character "latin small letter a with circumflex" (U+00E2) wherever
it should have contained "single quote".

All commands in the coreutils set are affected.

Commands not in the coreutils set are unaffected.

I'm using KDE 4.14.2.

konsole 2.14.2 with font dejavue sans mono.

I have rated it as "normal severity", because the document is difficult to read.
Otherwise, I would rate it "minor severity". I now use "man" instead of "info"
for coreutils commands.
