    help2man: work around some utf8 issues · a17d8a05
    Alexandre Duret-Lutz authored
    help2man used characters in the range 0x80,...,0x84 to mark special
    sections/characters during its processing, but those bytes where also
    occurring in other utf-8 characters breaking the output.  For instance
    the character '₁' ( a subscript 1), is encoded as "0xE2 0x82 0x81" in
    utf-8.
    
    * tools/help2man: Tell perl that input and output should be assumed to
    be utf-8.  Also use "private-use codepoints" for those special
    characters to avoid any future conflict.
