    I have installed tree on my ubuntu box, when i connect to it from Putty and I launch tree i get this : 

    $ tree
âââ html.vim -> xml.vim
âââ js.vim -> xml.vim
âââ xml.vim

    instead of this :

    $ tree --charset=ANSII
|-- html.vim -> xml.vim
|-- js.vim -> xml.vim
`-- xml.vim

    I also get this problem when e.g. I list my packages from npm (package manager from nodejs)

    $ npm list
/home/monkey/scripts/chatter

    How can I change that (either from Putty or linux box) ?
