Try changing your locale settings to something like the "C" locale
(legacy mode); for example, "LANG=C pstree" at a prompt.
I think the problem is that the drawing characters used by pstree are
not in the UTF-8 character set that you are using. pstree probably
needs to be fixed to be made aware of that. On my system pstree is just
using standard ASCII chars like | and -, however, not the special
drawing characters, so I'm not sure exactly what to say.
