  Try to change putty settings for this session:

  Terminal > Keyboard > The Function keys and keypad  --> linux
  
  Window > Translation > Character set --> UTF-8
  
  Connection > Data > Terminal-type string --> linux

  It ain't normal, but it's just charset issue.

  For what it's worth, I ran into that thing even after setting locale and UTF8 encoding, but switching from dialog to whiptail resolved the issue. No idea why, either.

  You know what.. I did actually change my locales to GB utf8 the other week

  @trexos and charles, what do you guys have for locales -a?

  I get

  C
  en_GB.utf8
