It doesn't.  What you see in Info is literal characters generated when
the documentation is built during the Emacs build process.  So, to
change that, you will have to regenerate the documentation, telling
makeinfo not to produce Unicode characters there.

Alternatively, you can set up your standard-display-table to display
those characters as their ASCII equivalents.
