??? What is your console output codepage set to?

Info detects the encoding to be used for the output and attempts to
convert the UTF-8 encoded quotes (and other special characters) in the
Info file into that encoding.  The MinGW build detects the output
encoding in the replacement for nl_langinfo function, defined in
info/pcterm.c.  It is supposed to report the console output codepage,
and at least in my case that codepage doesn't support the Unicode
quotes.  When that happens, Info falls back to ASCII equivalents, see
degrade_utf8 in info/scan.c.

What do you get from rpl_nl_langinfo in your case, and what happens in
copy_converting, where degrade_utf8 is supposed to be called when
Unicode quotes aren't supported?

Also, what is the font you are using on the console? does it support
Unicode quotes?

Your MSYS2 Info was built without libiconv, right?

That's the ASCII equivalents of the Unicode quote characters in action
for you.
