Spawned off of bug #42870 and bug #66040. The latter presents the following
test case (slightly tweaked here to change the escape character, for easy use
in a regression test shell script).
$ cat EXPERIMENTS/resume-special.groff
.ec @
.ll 1n
r@['e]sum@['e]
.hcode @['e] e
r@['e]sum@['e]
.hcode @['E] @['e]
R@['E]SUM@['E]
.pl @n[nl]u
$ ~/groff-stable/bin/nroff -ww -Wbreak EXPERIMENTS/resume-special.groff
troff:EXPERIMENTS/resume-special.groff:6: error: hyphenation code must be
ordinary character
résumé
ré‐
sumé
RÉSUMÉ
The second `hcode` request should copy the hyphenation code assigned to
`\['e]` such that `\['E'` has the same one, so that "RÉSUMÉ" can hyphenate.
