I (#508743) saw
$ LC_CTYPE=C man metastore #in emacs

in the shell

Ah,
$ man -w metastore|xargs zless|tail -2|uni2ascii -wa P
Written by David HU+00E4 rdeman <[email protected]>

Only when I do
$ man metastore|grep hardeman
<standard input>:63: warning: can't find special character `u4CA4'
       Written by David Heman <[email protected]>
Do I finally see any error message.

I'm not sure if the man providers have decided to turn back error
messages on or not, but plain man won't show them, and even a
redundant
$ man metastore|less
will output them at the top whereupon they fly off the screen...

So some way is needed to show errors or else "All these years I though
he was Mr. Heman."

P.S., no matter what environment settings I use, that unicode char is not
getting through.
