It sounds like a locale problem.  I'd rather not try to get into diagnosing 
and correcting a locale problem, because I barely have any idea what the hell 
I'm doing, and I'd have to do way too much homework to try to help you.

In the meantime, if you hit a man page in Konqueror with the weird quotes, try 
going to View -> Set Encoding and try setting it to "Unicode (utf-8)" and see 
if that cures the strange characters.

I'm not sure of a permanent solution.
