Yeah, UTF-8 output in GNU nroff also uses fancy soft-break hyphens for words split across lines which is all well and good I suppose, but the character isn't supported in the default font used by PuTTY. (For which the fix is to stop using Windows even as just a connectivity client for getting to the machines where the real work happens.) Found this out when I switched to UTF-8, switched man-pages back and switched default text-viewer to lv(1), which unfortunately lacks features of less(1) which I use heavily, but at least converts the charsets as needed, reducing breakage when I see stuff with £ or € in it. :^(
