Something screwy is going on here. I don't know where the "a^" is
going, and the \200\230 in UTF-8 translates to U+0018 aka ASCII 24
aka ^X.
Aha, I've managed to partially reproduce. I haven't figured out
entirely what's going on yet, but that's apparently not UTF-8; it's
bigendian UTF-16. Apparently the quotation marks are U+2018 and
U+2019 -- GCC seems to be very confused about what encoding it should
be using here (unless maybe all the 0x00 bytes in the UTF-16 encoding
of ASCII characters are just being ignored by your terminal or
something like that?) "a^" on the other hand corresponds to U+615E,
a CJK ideograph, which I wouldn't put it entirely past gcc to emit,
but seems unlikely.
Can you give use more information about your environment (a copy of
M-x describe-installation output might be enough)?
