Pod::Text will reproduce them as-is; it doesn't know much about character sets at present. (It assumes ISO 8859-1 for symbolic character names, though, which is less than ideal.) Pod::Man mangles non-ASCII characters because non-groff *roff implementations do horrible things to them. There was some recent discussion of that here and some plans to fix it. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
