PuTTY not showing character | and _ correctly in pstree and tree command output
On Linux, tree and pstree commands show tree-like hierarchy of directories and processes respectively.
Their output usually includes the characters | and _ which are used to draw the tree structure.
When I use PuTTY to ssh into my instances (Ubuntu 18.04 and Centos 7), the output
show these characters as â.
If I use cmd to ssh into my instances and run the same command, the output is rendered correctly.
How do I fix this in PuTTY?

I have recreated your problem. It occurs with many character sets different than UTF-8, when the server uses UTF-8. Even if UTF-8 is not the right set in your particular case (but it probably is), this is the option you should change.
In PuTTY configuration the option is under Window→Translation, Remote character set.
