UTF8 and nroff manpages

 	If locale is en_US.UTF-8 then manpages do not display '-' as
 	'-', but instad as the hex sequence e2 88 92. You can easily
 	see this by comparing the output of
 		nroff -mandoc /usr/share/man/man1/ls.1
 	with LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 and undefined.

 	I can understand for text formatting that e2 88 92 may be a
 	'better' unicode entity for a hyphen, but for a manpage its
 	very much not.

 	Does anyone have any ideas?
