When I run `showconsolefont` on Archlinux, it shows four blocks of 64
characters, and
there U+2019 is shown as a =E2=80=99 just fine.

Why nano don't show U+2019 ?

I can confirm that, on an up-to-date Manjaro, on a Linux console<br>
the character U+2019 is displayed as =EF=BF=AD instead of as =E2=80=99.<br>

So you need to configure a different font for the console.=C2=A0 How to<br>
