me too, though I'm only setting LC_CTYPE to de_DE.UTF-8 and I don't
always see it. It must be some combination of xterm/ssh and/or putty
that breaks this.

On the other hand, I thought there was a commit done, that would render
- (the dash) always as - (0x2d) so you can copy&paste the examples from
the manpage into your shell.

But perhaps I was just dreaming this up?
