Follow-up Comment #2, bug #51397 (project groff):
Hi Bjarni,
Are you sure this isn't a problem with your terminal emulator or installed
fonts for the window system?
I can get left and right angle brackets easily with a UTF-8 environment on an
xterm.
$ cat lara.man
.TH foobar 1 x y z
.SH NAME
foobar \- bar for foo
.SH DESCRIPTION
\[la]place description here\[ra]
<pre>
$ MANWIDTH=80 man -l -Tutf8 ./lara.man
foobar(1) z
foobar(1)
NAME
foobar - bar for foo
DESCRIPTION
⟨place description here⟩
y x
foobar(1)
</pre>
It also degrades to ASCII for more primitive environments.
