Follow-up Comment #57, bug #63354 (group groff):

[comment #56 comment #56:]
> GNU _troff_ should, in my opinion, treat any spelling of
> U+0082 as equivalent to \x82 in the input,

I theoretically agree with that.  But the reality already doesn't match the
theory:

$ echo $'\x82' | groff -ww -z
troff:<standard input>:1: warning: invalid input character code 130
$ echo $'\x82' | groff -Kiso-8859-1 -ww -z
troff:<standard input>:1: warning: special character 'u0082' not defined

Thus a fallback defined for \[u0082] would work when preconv is used, whereas
groff itself will always reject C1 characters in straight 8-bit input.

Nonetheless, this is an academic question as long as bug #58958 prohibits the
fallback that \[u0082] would need.

> Okay.  I assume you mean re: U+2052.

I meant re: all the above, and I intend to include a patch.  I just wasn't
counting on a reply here in less than 20 minutes. :)
