It's not clear to me what you mean with `append', please explain.

Note that (missing) pinyin characters don't belong into groff_char.7 –
this manpage is intended to document all named groff symbols.
Characters not in this man page can be accessed with the standard
\[u...] notation, provided the output font contains glyphs for those
characters.

If you want to create artificial glyphs using `.char' and friends for
-Tps or -Tdvi, please create a separate macro package so that pinyin
support can be loaded with `-mpinyin' or something similar.

For more ideas regarding pinyin support you might look up
`pinyin.sty', part of my CJK package for LaTeX.
