Package: groff-base
Version: 1.18.1.1-3
Severity: minor
Cannot display PI character in man page printf(3), manpages-ja-dev.
It was skipped.
PI is 0xa6d0 in EUC-JP, and 0x03c0 in Unicode.
Groff said "/tmp/zman0XkhLp:717: warning: can't find special character `u03C0'".

retitle 286064 groff-base: cannot dislpay pi glyph in Japanese locale
thanks
I asked for further info in November 2020; none was forthcoming.
The pi character no longer seems to be present in the contemporary
printf(3) man page from manpages-ja-dev, but the issue doesn't reproduce
if I make up a page using Debian's groff 1.22.4 package.

Hello, pi: π.
If I view the above with
"LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 man -l EXPERIMENTS/japanese-pi.man"
the results are are what I expect.
Similarly if I bypass man(1) altogether.

Insufficient information was given to determine whether this was an
upstream issue or a Debian-specific one; the foregoing experiment rules
out either in a contemporary release.
Closing.
