Strange characters

[Marcus Vinicius Ferreira]

Hello,


I was studying man pages more deeply in Cygwin and I can not solve a problem
involving strange (format ?) characters. As an example, here is a part of "man
zip".

______________________________________________________________

       zipnote [â^'hwL] [â^'b path] zipfile
       zipsplit [â^'hiLpst] [â^'n size] [â^'b path] zipfile

DESCRIPTION
       zip  is  a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, VMS, MSDOS,
       OS/2, Windows NT, Minix, Atari and Macintosh, Amiga and Acorn RISC  OS.

       It  is  analogous to a combination of the UNIX commands tar(1) and
comâ??
       press(1) and is compatible with PKZIP (Phil Katzâ?Ts ZIP for  MSDOS 
sysâ??       tems).

______________________________________________________________


Although some colors appear in the text description (white, grey and navy
blue), a set of "â", "^", "'" makes impossible to understand some parts.

I tried to change enviroment variables such as $LANG, $TERM, $CYGWIN with no
results. I made a fresh new installation and the problem re-appears.

What's wrong?


My cygwin dll is 1.5.5, Windows XP Pro, bash 2.05b.
