Below is excerpt from man file on touch. Highlighted text is showing strange characters when I use putty to ssh in. It was working fine before the 1.7 upgrade.
How do I fix this?
Thanks,
Wes
âd, ââdate=STRING parse STRING and use it instead of current time

ââtime=WORD change the specified time: WORD is access, atime, or use: equivâ alent to âa WORD is modify or mtime: equivalent to âm
ââhelp display this help and exit
Those look like "international" characters to me, i.e., UTF or some such. man (actually, the formatting tool behind it) likes to generate these for hyphens. In the past, we had LANG=C and it had no choice; now with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 or LANG=C.UTF-8 it generates them. While it is somewhat brain-damaged to do so, I found the "fix" to be to set LANG=C ....
