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
       `latin1').   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.
