    The results you see would seem to indicate a Unicode char But your mail
     is not 16 bit and is rendering fine here so hmmm...  Have you tried
    fiddling with $TERM, $LANG, and $LC_ALL?  Also try fiddling with
    $LESSCHARSET which may be the pager man is using.  If it is Unicode, you
    might be in for a long process...
    
    I'm kind of interested if you see the same result in a real console, vs.
    a terminal window under X.
