Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

  The input character "no-break space" (' ', 0xA0) is mapped by "groff"
to '\~' (groff_char(7)), but only the character name '\[char160]' is
translated in the file "tmac/troffrc".

  The "preconv" translates the no-break space to the name '\[u00A0]'.

  Example:

.pl 3v
A\[char161]B\[char160]C
.br
.\".tr \[u00A0]\~
A\[u00A1]B\[u00A0]C

  or

echo ' ' | preconv
