this is really no longer any issue in roff. So I think this ticket can be
resolved.
Okay. Resolving as "Invalid" since the issue didn't end up applying to
_groff_.

accessibility issue I can understand.
Glad to be of help.

So am I.
On my virtual consoles, which use the Latin-9 character set, I don't get ACS
characters at all (not a surprise, _grotty_(1) doesn't know how to produce
them...yet). I assume you're using some sort of UTF-8-enhanced terminal.
That's going to be a problem; you and I are going to need to use different
terminal types, and _getty_(8) or _logind_(8) is going to have to set $TERM
appropriately for the driver managing the VT.
This may be tough to resolve; historically, the big firms that dominate Linux
kernel development have shown scant interest in supporting bug fixes or
development of the Linux VT environment beyond, I suppose, whatever is the
minimum necessary to support an on-call admin remotely accessing machines
hosted in a data center to reconfigure containerized network services.
The [https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ncurses bug-ncurses list] may
be a good next stop for troubleshooting the issue you're having.
