Hello. I recently installed ubuntu server and after installing a few things I looked through the manpages of a few commands and noticed they got jumbled up with what looks like escape sequences. They're showing up with things like "1m" and "0m". I think it bears mentioning that I am using the Fish shell but it does the same thing with Bash.

Does anyone have a clue what's going on? I attached an image to better illustrate what I mean.
