Dear Werner, you wrote:

My suggestion would be to start by picking one of the several UTF-8 preprocessors that have floated across the list lately, and include it in groff. Perhaps it's a little late to do for 1.19.2, but the next update could include it.
groff can handle only 203 input characters currently. The *top priority* for me in converting groff to handle Unicode is to widen the 8bit input character slot to have a width of 32bit. Everything else is much less important IMHO.
Doues it mean that there will be no quick-and-dirty prepocessor-based solution
in the short term (before you do it properly)?Sincerely, Michail
