Output from tree looks strange [Solved]

I recently made a new Arch install and my terminal output looks strange compared to my old laptop. Running tree shows dashes on the new one but lines on the old one and I can't figure out why.

% tree /var/cache/man 
/var/cache/man
|-- CACHEDIR.TAG
|-- cat1
|-- cat2
|-- cat3
|-- cat4
|-- cat5
|-- cat6
|-- cat7
|-- cat8
`-- index.db

8 directories, 2 files

On the old laptop the dashes are solid lines

% tree /var/cache/man 
/var/cache/man
├── CACHEDIR.TAG
├── cat1
├── cat2
├── cat3
├── cat4
├── cat5
├── cat6
├── cat7
├── cat8
└── index.db

8 directories, 2 files

It was a bad locale. Thanks to you.

Edit: sorry, missed the tail.
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
