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.
