Follow-up Comment #1:

It's the localized form of a quoted string.

Almost all the strings in wget are localized. This is a GNU policy.

About quoting, the details are in lib/quotearg.c, which itself is part of
gnulib. If you think this is wrong, the first place to go is there.

Here is a comment from that file:

  /* For UTF-8 and GB-18030, use single quotes U+2018 and U+2019.
     Here is a list of other locales that include U+2018 and U+2019:

        ISO-8859-7   0xA1                 KOI8-T       0x91
        CP869        0x8B                 CP874        0x91
        CP932        0x81 0x65            CP936        0xA1 0xAE
        CP949        0xA1 0xAE            CP950        0xA1 0xA5
        CP1250       0x91                 CP1251       0x91
        CP1252       0x91                 CP1253       0x91
        CP1254       0x91                 CP1255       0x91
        CP1256       0x91                 CP1257       0x91
        EUC-JP       0xA1 0xC6            EUC-KR       0xA1 0xAE
        EUC-TW       0xA1 0xE4            BIG5         0xA1 0xA5
        BIG5-HKSCS   0xA1 0xA5            EUC-CN       0xA1 0xAE
        GBK          0xA1 0xAE            Georgian-PS  0x91
        PT154        0x91

     None of these is still in wide use; using iconv is overkill.  */
