    groff_char(7): Fix content and style nits.
    
    * Migrate terminology: "escape" -> "escape sequence".
    * Say specifically what loads "composite.tmac".
    * Depict correct glyph for | character (meaningful for devices like
      "ps" that de-unify | and \[or]), so that a distinction can be seen.
