Perhaps Redhat thinks you're using UTF-8, and you're not. I think I
saw this strange phenomenon before on a friend's Redhat 8.
Try
LC_CTYPE=C man ls
and see if the problem goes away. If it does, you might want to set LC_CTYPE
like that in your enviroment (or set it to he_IL if you speak Hebrew, not C ;)).
