This manual page lists the standard groff input characters. 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 `html'). 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.

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 '. 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 __.
