Follow-up Comment #9, bug #66919 (group groff): Okay, then, we need to burn this down to first principles, because you are blinding me with your claims that the `hcode` request is **ever** "failing to accept a special character as a first argument".
As far as I can tell, it is doing so with perfect reliability. But something
is going wrong that you're not happy with and we need to identify what that
is.
Apply the following patch.

Running the patched GNU _troff_ with your "66919.groff" file (comment #0) and
my subsequent "66919[bcd].groff" files, I get the following.
