+ Introduce locale-encoding of output with the <B>-Tlocale</B> output option and Unicode escaped-character input.
+ See <A HREF="mandoc.1.html">mandoc</A> and <A HREF="mandoc_char.7.html">mandoc_char</A>, respectively, for details.
+ This allows for non-ASCII characters (e.g., <I>\[u5000]</I>) to be rendered in the locale's encoding, if said
+ environment supports wide-character encoding (if it does not, <B>-Tascii</B> is used instead).
+ Locale support can be turned off at compile time by removing <I>-DUSE_WCHAR</I> in the <I>Makefile</I>, in which case
+ <B>-Tlocale</B> is always a synonym for <B>-Tascii</B>.
