GROFF_CHAR(R) GROFF_CHAR(R) NAME groff_char - groff character names DESCRIPTION This manual page lists the standard groff input charac- ters. Only the characters that are available for the device that is being used to print or view this manual page will be displayed (the device currently used is `ascii'). 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 equiv- alent 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.
