just define a separate face for that

Something like the attached patch, say. Alan, does it work for you?

This patch calls the new face "approximate-glyph" as there are similar problems with characters other than quotes and we may want to fix them at some point. For example, currently if I read the Emacs manual by using M-x info on an ASCII-only terminal, the first screen contains the off-putting text "Copyright \u00A9 1985\u20131987, 1993\u20132016". If someone ever gets around to changing this to display (say) "Copyright (C) 1985-1987, 1993-2016" they can use the approximate-glyph face to display the ASCII approximations.
