emacs INFO pages have "?"s instead of "'"s |

In emacs INFO pages, single quotes "'" appear as question marks "?" and
'echo $LANG' returns a blank line.
I am running guixSD on a headless server & logging in via the iTerm2
terminal emulator running on Max OS X... e.g. 'ssh' & 'emacs -nw'
When I log into an identical server running Debian 8, emacs INFO "'"
quotes are normal and 'echo $LANG' returns "en_US.UTF-8".
ITerm is set to UTF-8 and xterm-256color.
I am running the configuration shown below built earlier today as shown
further below.
Note: I also tried the alternate form, '(locale "en_US.utf8")', which is
commented out in the config, and observed the same behavior.
Many Thanks - George
