Hi Mike,

groff(1) has a -k option (and -K) that kicks off preconv(1) as a
preprocessor for the input.
$ echo Local currency is the £. | preconv
.lf 1 -
Local currency is the \[u00A3].
$
$ echo Local currency is the £. | groff -k | grep -A 1 Local
/F0 10/Times-Roman@0 SF(Local currenc)72 12 Q 2.5(yi)-.15 G 2.5(st)-2.5
G(he \243.)-2.5 E 0 Cg EP
$
It helps a lot with reading UTF-8 if the output devices support the
runes.
Cheers, Ralph.
