Thanks for the suggestions. Invoking man with "-E ascii" fixed this for me. It sounds like some distributions do have this fixed in their default settings. I'm on Cygwin 3.6.6; maybe it's mostly a Cygwin thing.

yeah it sounds like your environment is doing some weird mangling of the encoding. Maybe consider adding an 'alias man="man -E ascii"' into your .bashrc You might also consider seeing if it's any different in WSL. Or you could, you know, just use Linux ;P
