This is not valid syntax:
$ echo ".hcode \['e] \['e]" | groff -Wall
troff: backtrace: file '<standard input>':1
troff: <standard input>:1: error: hyphenation code must be ordinary character
as documented in the info manual: "A hyphenation code must be a single input
character (not a special character)." Bug #42870 (referenced in comment #0)
seeks to remedy this limitation.
Putting a literal Latin-1 é in place of the second \['e] does work, however.
Correcting the syntax is the easy part, though; I don't yet have good answers
to the conceptual questions Branden raises in comment #3.
