In Groff 1.22.4, tildes and carets are respectively rendered in man pages as ~
<https://graphemica.com/%7E> and ^ <https://graphemica.com/%5E>. Since then,
there appears to have been a regression of sorts: -Tutf8 now renders tildes
and carets as ˜ <https://graphemica.com/%CB%9C> and ˆ
<https://graphemica.com/%CB%86>.
Now, I understand that this is the intended behaviour; groff_char(7) does a
commendable job of explaining the seven oddballs of Groff's character set.
However, folks aren't used to seeing stuff like ˜/.curlrc or /ˆ.*/ in their
man pages, so unless the original behaviour is restored by the next release,
users are going to complain about "mangled" man pages after upgrading to Groff
1.23.0…
