if u can resolve with above. then it might be your locale problem.

If you see three characters instead of one in your terminal, it's that your terminal is not UTF-8 aware and man
thinks it is. So, either use a UTF-8 aware terminal (XFree86, xterm) or don't tell man your terminal is UTF-8 (probably a locale issue).

LC_CTYPE=C man tty
to see if that solves the problem.

or
export LANG=C

Put it at the bottom of:
/etc/bashrc

and will be set when you login.

thanks, it works
I type export LANG=C

can you tell me what it means?  expecialy "C" character
