I don't think that the standard PostScript Symbol font contains
\[vA], so in general it won't be possible unless you
Is it possible to write general Unicode letters in `groff'?
There was a discussion before the groff-Unicode time for
using something like \U'' and the like at:
- http://osdir.com/ml/groff-gnu/2011-05/msg4.html-
- http://osdir.com/ml/groff-gnu/2011-05/msg7.html
- http://lists.gnu.org/
Another glyph that is in most text PostScript fonts, is widely used in
English, but is not in groff, is the ellipsis (three dots).

On the contrary, it is there! It is in the Symbol font (\fS)
at position 0274[octal] = 188[decimal], but it has no name.
So define
.char \[el] \f[S]\N'188'\fP
and then you have it!
Best wishes too all,

"Approximate" in a somewhat ugly sense! To do it properly you
need to play with vertical positions (and possibly slightly
with horizontal positions).
I attach an example file in PS and PDF versions:
PS: temp01.ps
PDF: temp01.pdf
which illustrate how to try to do it properly.
