Dear Werner,

My suggestion would be to start by picking one of the several UTF-8
preprocessors that have floated across the list lately, and include
it in groff.  Perhaps it's a little late to do for 1.19.2, but the
next update could include it.

groff can handle only 203 input characters currently.  The *top
priority* for me in converting groff to handle Unicode is to widen the
8bit input character slot to have a width of 32bit.  Everything else
is much less important IMHO.

Doues it mean that there will be no quick-and-dirty prepocessor-based solution
in the short term (before you do it properly)?

Sincerely, Michail
