We can easily fix that, e.g. by using a display table in Info and
*Help* buffers.

The next version of Texinfo's Info reader will use ASCII replacements
on text terminals that cannot display these (and other) characters.

Of course, the search issue still remains, you will have to use
"C-x 8 RET", unless we provide commands to insert these characters
directly.
