Yes, your client does not handle UTF-8 properly. Use a client which
supports UTF-8 encoding, like PuTTY (a free client in contrast to
SecureCRT).
If you can't get a new client, you may have some luck by setting the
LANG environment variable, e.g.
LANG=C man CGI
or
export LANG=C
man CGI
I've had to do this before, but I don't recall the exact details. Could
be the LC_ALL environment variable, too.
