XQuartz issues with fonts and display

Greeting!

My OS is the OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. I use the following command to connect to a remote server, for instance,

ssh -XY email@hidden

However, there are some issues with fonts and characters displayed on screen. If I run "wget" to download a package, I got something like:

[email@hidden ~]$  wget https://github.com/hyattpd/Prodigal/archive/v2.6.2.tar.gz
--2015-11-03 17:34:50--  https://github.com/hyattpd/Prodigal/archive/v2.6.2.tar.gz

Saving to: âv2.6.2.1âv2.6.2.1â

After that the connection and terminal were frozen. As we can see from the last line "Saving to,...", there some funny characters "â" on the screen that might be the reason to choke the terminal. Also, if I run"pstree" on the terminal, it displays many the same characters  "â". Even I don't connect to a server and just run X11 on the local machine, and after running "wget ...", I also got:

ERROR: cannot verify github.com's certificate, issued by â:

Again â at the end! On the other hand, I don't such a problem with the default Terminal App. I tested XQuartz 2.7.4, 2.7.7, and 2.7.8, either from the installation *.dmg or MacPort's xorg-server, but all of them have the same problem. As far as I can tell, it seems nothing to do with ssh as I have the same problem with X11 on the local machine. 

I appreciate very much for any hints!


Thanks!
Collin
