Here is a response from the Groff maintainer on UTF-8

Is the current CVS of groff, utf-8 friendly.

Yes.  It doesn't have the final form (the preconv preprocessor will
get folded into soelim) which means that files included with .so
aren't handled yet automatically, but the interface won't change, this
is, options `-k' and `-K <enc>' will stay to convert the input file
encoding to something groff can understand.

Note that you still need fonts which actually have those Unicode
characters.

This is also targeted for March. Both also expressed and interest for us to assist in testing.
