New submission from Steve Dower <steve.do...@python.org>:
Not all console configurations can correctly render smart quotes in help()
text. See the "Æ" in "superclass's" below.
When building for pydoc-topics, it would be ideal to disable smart quotes. (I'm
assuming from issue31793 that this can be done in configuration, though I'm not
entirely sure how - it's not clear to me from those PRs)

>>> help("BASICMETHODS")
Basic customization
*******************
object.__new__(cls[, ...])
...
Typical implementations create a new instance of the class by
invoking the superclassÆs "__new__()" method using
"super().__new__(cls[, ...])" with appropriate arguments and then
modifying the newly-created instance as necessary before returning
it.
