True, but the situation is not entirely analogous, as there's no "devtty":
grotty sends output to devascii, devlatin1, or devutf8.  And we know that the
first two of these don't have a U+2026 but the third does.  (We _don't_ know
whether the font ultimately used for devutf8 output includes a U+2026, but
that's no longer groff's problem.)  So an ".fchar \[u2026]" in tty.tmac will
do the right thing for all three formats: it'll use the fallback for devascii
and devlatin1, and the UTF-8 character for devutf8.

The same set of knowns and unknowns may apply to devhtml as well; I'm not
familiar with it.  For instance, if groff already writes HTML using UTF-8
encoding, it's probably best to output a U+2026 and let the renderer worry
about it from there.
