Hi Dorai,

> I have the environment variable GROFF_ENCODING globally set to utf8

That's the cause.  It implies groff's -k option, invoking preconv(1).

    $ preconv <<<'.de ΒΆ'
    .lf 1 -
    .de \[u00B6]
    $

So troff and nroff accept 0xb6, or UTF-8's 0xc2 0xb6, without a care,
but preconv filters it out first.

Cheers, Ralph.
