Emacs should distinguish them by default; it does for me.
Does this happen in "emacs -Q" as well? If not, your init file(s) are
the culprit.
If "emacs -Q" exhibits the same behavior, type "F1 l" (that's the
letter ell, not the digit one) after hitting Ctrl-h, and tell what you
see in the *Help* buffer that Emacs pops.
