I've sent to myself the incriminated characters, that is:
U+2026 … e2 80 a6 HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
U+2019 ’ e2 80 99 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
U+201C “ e2 80 9c LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
U+2018 ‘ e2 80 98 LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
(source: https://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-utf8-table.pl?
start=8192&number=128)
and I haven't noticed anything, but maybe I misunderstood where exactly the
problem should be observed.
My Kmail has the same version number as yours, even though my update is like a
week old.
Let's see how this email shows ;)
My locale is a bit different from yours.
