https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=268421 --- Comment #3 from Yuri <yuri@aetern.org> --- Those are mathematical characters documented in mandoc_char(7). The one you are talking about seems to be: \(** ∗ asterisk As the page describes mathematical function, it seems to be acceptable? There are other non-standard characters used as well. Other than getting fonts that have the glyphs (I'm using e.g. iosevka, and everything looks fine), you can force ASCII output by running it as `LC_ALL=C man atan2`; mandoc relies on LC_CTYPE to decide if it should output UTF-8 or do the best-effort substitution of those characters in ASCII output. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
