[systemd-devel] Need suggsetion on weird characters on RHEL7 !

[Manish Saxena]

Hello,

I need suggestion on a case 01270671, where customer is getting weird characters as below :
Can some one suggest what is wrong?

------------------------
Weird characters when displaying man pages on RHEL 7.0

e.g. man firewall-cmd

ample 2
       Enable port 443/tcp immediately and permanently in default zone. To make the change effective immediately and
       also after restart we need two commands. The first command makes the change in runtime configuration, i.e.
       makes it effective immediately, until restart. The second command makes the change in permanent
       configuration, i.e. makes it effective after restart.

           firewall-cmd --add-port=443/tcp
           firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp

EXIT CODES
       On success 0 is returned. On failure the output is red colored and exit code is either 2 in case of wrong
       command-line option usage or one of the following error codes in other cases:

       ┌────────────────────┬──────┐
       │String              │ Code │
       ├────────────────────┼──────┤
       │ALREADY_ENABLED     │   11 │
       ├────────────────────┼──────┤
       │NOT_ENABLED         │   12 │
       ├────────────────────┼──────┤
       │COMMAND_FAILED      │   13 │
       ├────────────────────┼──────┤
       │NO_IPV6_NAT         │   14 │
       ├────────────────────┼──────┤
       │PANIC_MODE          │   15 │

---------------

Also customer can see these characters in other commands too e.g. systemctl

[root at eadmzu084p ~]# systemctl list-dependencies rpcbind.service
rpcbind.service
├─rpcbind.socket
├─system.slice
└─basic.target
  ├─firewalld.service
  ├─microcode.service
  ├─rhel-autorelabel-mark.service
  ├─rhel-autorelabel.service
  ├─rhel-configure.service
  ├─rhel-dmesg.service
  ├─rhel-loadmodules.service
  ├─paths.target
  ├─slices.target
  │ ├─-.slice
  │ └─system.slice
  ├─sockets.target
  │ ├─dbus.socket
  │ ├─dm-event.socket
  │ ├─iscsid.socket
  │ ├─iscsiuio.socket
  │ ├─lvm2-lvmetad.socket
  │ ├─systemd-initctl.socket
  │ ├─systemd-journald.socket
  │ ├─systemd-shutdownd.socket
  │ ├─systemd-udevd-control.socket
  │ └─systemd-udevd-kernel.socket
  ├─sysinit.target
  │ ├─dev-hugepages.mount
  │ ├─dev-mqueue.mount
  │ ├─dmraid-activation.service
  │ ├─iscsi.service
  │ ├─kmod-static-nodes.service
  │ ├─lvm2-monitor.service

Here is the output of env and os-release from customer end :
