Follow-up Comment #2, bug #65716 (group groff):

The reason is this line:

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/tree/src/utils/afmtodit/make-afmtodit-tables?h=1.23.0#n118


      -e '/;\(E\|F[0-8]\)/d' \


That's a _sed_ line.  So it's nuking all Unicode code points matching
E000..F8FF.  That's the Unicode Private Use Area.  So it seems to be a correct
call.  Except we're also matching E0000..EFFFFF and F0000..F8FFFF, which...I
don't know, may not be assigned yet.  But they're less than 10FFFF so they
might be some day.

Werner put that line in when he first checked in the script, in 2005.

Can/should we do anything about this?
