In what way doesn't gnome-terminal handle smart quotes? That really
sounds like a big bug. I'd report that.

That sure looks like UTF-8 to me.
Given this is Fedora, you are likely to have a LANG or LOCALE variable
of "en_US.UTF-8" or similar somewhere around. Set that to "C" and see
if it works.

Ayup, it's under LANG. export LANG="C" ought to fix that.
As a side benefit, "ls" sorting should go back to the way it should be.
Can anyone think of a reason why gcc was made to do this?
Sure. Unicode variable names are certainly desirable for people who
don't speak English.
Or suggest something better in the way
of a terminal emulator?
Hah. I've been looking for a decent terminal emulator for years. Let
me know if you find one. I tend to use rxvt not because it's good, but
because it's relatively minimal..
