No, I see the same problem.

I do `M-x shell' and see this in buffer `*shell*':

 bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
 bash: no job control in this shell

(Perhaps you have an idea about that?  If not, OK.)

But doing what you said anyway (`man find > foo'), the output
is correct; the "hyphens" are actually hyphens:

  name: HYPHEN
  general-category: Pd (Punctuation, Dash)
  decomposition: (8208) ('‐')
