Bad unicode `-' in manpages

Hi!

It seems like unicode was introduced into man pages on current.

While

"Include directory entries whose names begin with a dot (‘.’)"

indeed looks better than

"Include directory entries whose names begin with a dot (`.')"

, I'm concerned about (at least) minus sign, which was changed from
`-' (U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS) symbol to `−' (U+2212 MINUS SIGN) everywhere.
Now most of man pages basically provide false info, and copypasting
or search are now impossible.
