Isn't this the LC_ALL or LOCALE environment variable (or similar)?  Use
the builtin command `set' to list all variables.

Note that some systems cache generated man pages (catpages), so they may
still display wrong.  I don't know enough about locales to be
authoritative.

I generally set my locale to "C", which means `just ASCII, dammit!'
