Something is wrong with
$ man iconv
One sees
N^HNA^HAM^HME^HE
iconv - Convert encoding of given files from one encoding to another
S^HSY^HYN^HNO^HOP^HPS^HSI^HIS^HS
iconv -^H-f^Hf encoding -^H-t^Ht encoding inputfile
This doesn't happen with other man pages.
$ man -d iconv # gives:
Setting LESS to -ix8RmPm Manual page iconv(1) ?ltline %lt?L/%L.:byte
%bB?s/%s..?e (END):?pB %pB\%..$PM Manual page iconv(1) ?ltline

/usr/bin/col -b -p -x | less [input: 0, output: 0]
$ PAGER=more man iconv
doesn't have this problem.
$ LC_ALL=C LANG=C man iconv
does though.
