Also

  ~ U+007E, TILDE

is displayed as

  ˜ 02DC, SMALL TILDE

which here sits at the height of an accent here, for example the

  ^ 005E, CIRCUMFLEX ACCENT

Putting it all together it really looks totally odd here:

  i=`echo '~/home^run'`

becomes

  i=‘‘echo ’˜/homeˆrun’‘’

How is anyone supposed to document a sh(1)ell-style manual with
mdoc(7) (i do not know about man(7)) with these settings?
