This change doesn't make sense. It's not possible to use a backslash
within \[...]. Consequently, glyph names which start with a backslash
can't be used as composites. Instead of \- simply use glyph `mi'
which is an alias defined for all devices.
BTW, I consider it a very obscure feature of groff to allow glyph
names of the form \X (`X' a single, almost arbitrary character). Now
that the non-algorithmical glyph names of groff are frozen, we can
safely ignore it.
\- is the only `official' glyph name starting with a backslash. The
entries \` and \' in devhtml and devutf8 are wrong, and I've just
removed them. (The input sequences \` and \' are mapped to glyphs
`ga' and `aa', respectively.)
