The groff glyph list (GGL) is fixed; all entity names can be found in
the source code files

  src/libs/libgroff/glyphuni.cpp
  src/libs/libgroff/uniglyph.cpp

which map from Unicode values to the GGL and vice versa.  For example,
the latter file contains this line (as part of a large array):

  { "2013", "en" },

I think it shouldn't be too difficult to write a small script which
extracts this mapping so that it can be reused in your converter.
