Follow-up Comment #1:

For special characters with identifiers listed in _groff_char_(7), I agree
that fallbacks should be defined if possible (the "ascii" device is
ultra-limited), and that the output driver should take care of that (via a
macro file is fine).

By using Unicode special character escape sequences, a man page author wanders
off the beaten track and should be expected to define their own fallbacks.  So
I'm updating the man pages in that case, which sort of splits this ticket
between _grotty_, _gropdf_, and "General" (_groff_tmac_(5)), but I ain't gonna
mess with making two copies of it.
