"gcc output shows hex codes e2 80 in the message which is causing the problem." Your terminal setup is wrong then. If you are running GCC in UTF-8 locale (such as en_US.UTF-8), it prints the opening/closing quotes as UTF-8 non-ASCII characters (\xe2\x80\x98 and \xe2\x80\x99). If your terminal can't handle this and can't be changed to grok that, you should not run programs in UTF-8 locale. In say en_US locale (or C locale) GCC will use ' as both opening and closing quote.
