NAME
groff_char - groff character names
DESCRIPTION
This manual page lists the standard groff input characters. Only the
characters that are available for the device that is being used to
print this manual page will be displayed. The Input code column
applies to characters which can be input with a single character, and
gives the ISO Latin-1 code of that input character. The PostScript
name column gives the usual PostScript name of the output character.
The ISO Latin-1 no-break space (code 0240 octal) is equivalent to
\(space). All other ISO Latin-1 characters print as themselves with
the following exceptions: ` prints as `, ' prints as '; the
corresponding ISO Latin-1 characters can be obtained with \` and \(aq.
The ISO Latin-1 `Hyphen, Minus Sign' (code 45) prints as a hyphen; a
minus sign can be obtained with \-. The ISO Latin-1 `Tilde' (code
126) prints as ~; the larger glyph can be obtained with \(ti. The ISO
Latin-1 `Circumflex Accent' (code 94) prints as ^; a larger glyph can
be obtained with \(ha.
