What I was trying to get at earlier is that I believe groff can't handle
UTF-8 input.  So fixing B, if I'm correct, is certainly not local to
man-db.  I believe that fixing groff to handle multibyte character sets
property is a substantial amount of work.  I've heard rumors from time to
time that upstream intended to do this for 2.0, but the work is mostly
stalled.

groff can apparently produce UTF-8 *output*, but I think the encodings of
all of its input at the moment are in other character sets.
