Hmm. Try converting the man page to text and seeing what these
characters are:
man -W ls | head -n 1 | groff -mman -Tascii -P -cbu > /tmp/ls.txt
Then Vim the file and see if the characters are anything "funny".
Also does the problem happen in xterm? (If yes, it might be charset
related, in which case you're on your own).
