Re: [Groff] passing groff special chars to pdfmark as bookmarks

[smoore]

Is it the single quote apostrophe that is causing the problem, or, is
it something
else ?   Were I to pass the string with the french special character
\['e] it is the
'é' that gets dropped and for the word Séance I get Sance as a bookmark.

Is the string that gets passed after the trin an \[\[aq]e] ?

The goal is to have all diacritc chars flow through without being dropped.
