I do agree that the gcc warning quoting is unnecessarily ugly (even
just visually), but..

No, that's not the problem. The UTF-8 that gcc emits is fine.

And your email was also UTF-8:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

The problem is that you clearly then used some other tool in between
that took the UTF-8 byte stream, and used it as (presumably) Latin1,
which is bogus.

If you just make everything use and stay as UTF-8, it all works out
beautifully. But I suspect you have an editor or a MUA that is fixed
in some 1980s mindset, and when you cut-and-pasted the UTF-8, it
treated it as Latin1.

Just make all your environment be utf-8, like it should be. It's not
the 80s any more. We don't do mullets, and we don't do Latin1, ok?
