On further inspection, the problem seems to be with pdfmom.  Here's
a test file:

.\" Filename: timeline.mom
.
.TITLE    "Repair Timeline
.SUBTITLE "6-331 Mona Ave" "Vanier ON K1L 7A3" "File no: LTB-T-028792-22"
.PRINTSTYLE TYPESET
.START
.PP
In this document, Dimitrius (also called "Dim") refers to Dimitrius
Stavrou, proxy landlord and property manager of 331 Mona Ave. for
the period of my tenancy up to January 2024.  Mr. Stavrou resides in
Montréal.

Processed with
  groff -mom -Tpdf -Kutf8 -k timeline.mom > timeline.pdf
the é in Montréal renders correctly.

Processed with
  pdfmom -Kutf8 -k  timeline.mom > timeline.pdf
the é is garbage.
