From 383d58e9c7e4f50b31c8ed9d5a804444bf3e9af4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bjarni Ingi Gislason Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2012 00:05:36 +0200 Subject: iso_8859-1.7: Explanation of SOFT HYPHEN and the code for it :89: warning: can't find special character `shc' This is the only "iso_8859-*.7" file that has this (now) undefined character. The code in column four in "iso_8859-1.7" is "0x2D" ("HYPHEN, MINUS SIGN" or "HYPHEN-MINUS") instead of "0xAD". See Debian bug 156154 (or package "manpages"). There should be an explanation for this graphic character and the code should be 0xAD in iso_8859-1.7 (as in all others), even though "[gn]roff" does not display a "HYPHEN" in that position of the table. The line with "SOFT HYPHEN" gets a footnote and a short explanation.
