    groff_char(7): Fix \[sqrt], \[radicalex] lines.
    
    * man/groff_char.7.man (Glyph tables/Mathematical symbols): Fix errors
      in special character descriptions; \[sqrt] is a "special" glyph (that
      is, it uses mathematical metrics on typesetter devices), and
      \[radicalex) is not (and is thus a "text" glyph).  See Werner
      Lemberg's ChangeLog entry of 2003-01-05.  Problem dates to 07a6233ad,
      27 May 2014.
    
    The overloaded use of the word "special" really pinches here.

        * tmac/tty.tmac: Replace fallback glyphs for radical extension
        and square root extension; use \[rn] instead, which works fine.
