That’s apparently another font.
> Info mode uses several fonts anyway,
‘GNU Emacs Manual’ was a mere example of an easy accessible page that uses that
symbols. And the quotes are not the only problematic glyphs, just the most
notable ones. Now I noticed the same issue with arrows: ↑ ← ↓ and →, I guess
there are others.

Aha! Thanks. The exact problematic commit is ‘2276a19d’ [0].
By the way, how could I prove that without rebuilding the whole Emacs? I tried:
$ git show 2276a19^:lisp/international/fontset.el > /tmp/lisp/fontset.el
$ emacs --directory /tmp/lisp --quick --font
'-*-terminus-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'
Despite that:
(locate-library "fontset")
⇒ "/tmp/lisp/fontset.el"
I did not see any effect.

Yes, indeed. Many thanks.
(set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(#x2000 . #x2067) "Terminus")
However, It might be even better if I could erase that rule, as if there were
no lines about that range in ‘fontsel.el’. Is it possible?

I’ve just tried — no effect.
