That's UTF-8. It happens because somewhere in your rc files on the
linux machine the locale gets set to en_US.UTF-8 (or some other
variation that specifies UTF-8) but you are not using a terminal that
can display unicode.
The solution is simple:
Use a terminal that supports unicode.
OR
Modify your rc files to not set a unicode locale, or otherwise modify
the environment as appropriate. E.g. "export LC_ALL=C".
