Bag LANG setting?

- Subject: Bag LANG setting?
When doing man grep it blurted out many <##> hex codes. If I unset LANG, LANGVAR I get extended ascii. I am using teraterm to connect via ssh.
LANG=en_US.iso885915
LANGVAR=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
TERM=vt100
When using the same setting on RHEL4, the output seems proper.
I cannot remember when the man output was last formatted correctly. Any advise on where to check next?

GREP(1) User Commands GREP(1)
NAME
grep, egrep, fgrep <E2><88><92> print lines matching a pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [OPTIONS] PATTERN [FILE...]
grep [OPTIONS] [<E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92>e PATTERN | <E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92>f FILE] [FILE...]
DESCRIPTION
grep searches the named input FILEs (or standard input if no files are named, or if a single hyphen<E2><80><90>minus (<E2><88><92>^H<E2>Ë88><92>) is given as
file name) for lines containing a match to the given PATTERN. By default, grep prints the matching lines.
In addition, two variant programs egrep and fgrep are available. egrep is the same as grep <E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92>E. fgrep is the same as
grep <E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92>F. Direct invocation as either egrep or fgrep is deprecated, but is provided to allow historical applications that
rely on them to run unmodified.
OPTIONS
Generic Program Information
<E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92><E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92>help Print a usage message briefly summarizing these command<E2><80><90>line options and the bug<E2><80><90>reporting address, then exit.
<E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92>V, <E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92><E2><88><92>^H<E2><88><92>version
Print the version number of grep to the standard output stream. This version number should be included in all bug
reports (see below).

GREP(1) User Commands GREP(1)
NAME
grep, egrep, fgrep ÃËâ print lines matching a pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [OPTIONS] PATTERN [FILE...]
grep [OPTIONS] [ÃËâe PATTERN | ÃËâf FILE] [FILE...]
DESCRIPTION
grep searches the named input FILEs (or standard input if no files are named, or if a single hyphenÃâÂminus (ÃËâ) is given as
file name) for lines containing a match to the given PATTERN. By default, grep prints the matching lines.
In addition, two variant programs egrep and fgrep are available. egrep is the same as grep ÃËâE. fgrep is the same as
grep ÃËâF. Direct invocation as either egrep or fgrep is deprecated, but is provided to allow historical applications that
rely on them to run unmodified.
OPTIONS
Generic Program Information
ÃËâÃËâhelp Print a usage message briefly summarizing these commandÃâÂline options and the bugÃâÂreporting address, then exit.
ÃËâV, ÃËâÃËâversion
Print the version number of grep to the standard output stream. This version number should be included in all bug
reports (see below).
Matcher Selection
ÃËâE, ÃËâÃËâextendedÃËâregexp
Interpret PATTERN as an extended regular expression (ERE, see below). (ÃËâE is specified by POSIX.)
ÃËâF, ÃËâÃËâfixedÃËâstrings
Interpret PATTERN as a list of fixed strings, separated by newlines, any of which is to be matched. (ÃËâF is
specified by POSIX.)
ÃËâG, ÃËâÃËâbasicÃËâregexp
Interpret PATTERN as a basic regular expression (BRE, see below). This is the default.
ÃËâP, ÃËâÃËâperlÃËâregexp
Interpret PATTERN as a Perl regular expression. This is highly experimental and grep ÃËâP may warn of unimplemented
features.
