In Red Hat 8.0 they changed the LANG from en_US to en_US.UTF-8". To make
it work right, edit...
/etc/sysconfig/i18n and change LANG="en_US.UTF-8" to LANG="en_US".
Then log out from the shell and back in. man and other apps will display
correct characters.
Some other rh8 specific quirks are answered/explained here....
