Back in October, this exact issue came up... below I have copied the
text from one of the responses. For further info, check the archives
from October 2002.

When I connect via OpenSSH (using PUTTY v0.51 from a Windows box) to RH 7.x
I've no problems. When I connect to RH 8.0 the same way, I'm seeing weird
characters in some programs like, for instance, "ntsysv" or just when I look
man pages.
Tell Putty that the character set is UTF-8. It's in the
Windows-Tranlations section when you're connecting.

Hey all,
This is probably something silly, but when I upgraded to RH8.0 I noticed
that my man pages look really odd. It's like there are extra, strange
characters in there that weren't there before.
sample from [man cp]

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options
too.
a, archive
same as dpR
backup[=CONTROL]
make a backup of each existing destination file
b like backup but does not accept an argument
copycontents
copy contents of special files when recursive
d same as nodereference preserve=link
nodereference
never follow symbolic links
f, force
if an existing destination file cannot be opened, remove it
and
try again

I use Putty as my ssh client and I don't think that I have changed any
switches since the upgrade...
Any thoughts?
Thanks
