Sorry for being sloppy. \[uXXXX] is what groff expects for all glyphs
not part of the GGL.

I've posted a solution a few years ago to the groff list which is
still valid. Attached you can find the necessary files:
. ru.tmac: Call this macro file on groff's command line to activate
Russian support.
. koi8-r.tmac: Loaded by ru.tmac, this file sets up koi8-r input
encoding (which is used exclusively for hyphenation).
. ruhyphal.tex: Loaded by ru.tmac. Russian hyphenation patterns, in
koi8-r encoding, taken from TeXLive.
. rutest.utf-8: A test input file. Change the PS font `SFOR' to
whatever you use for Cyrillic. After installing the
files at the appropriate places you should call
groff with
groff -k -mru -Tps rutest.utf-8 > rutest.ps
Of course,
groff -k -mru -Tutf8 rutest.utf-8 > rutest.txt
also works.
