Non utf8 characters in page standards.7

Non utf8 characters in page standards.7

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/standards.7.html

Hello
I noticed this page has come corrupt bytes in HTML source:

under the auspices of the Austin group
??<a href="http://www.opengroup.org/austin/">http://www.opengroup.org/austin/</a>??.


See ?? in my quote above.

In hex, the bytes are E2 9F A8  and  E2 9F A9

Any ideas?

There are other occurances with other links too. may affect other pages too

Regards, Jonny

These are the characters generated to the .UR/.UE macro pair (see groff_man(7)).

Cheers,

Hello Michael

Thank you for your reply.

Perhaps the .UR/.UE characters could be taken out?

⟨http://www.opengroup.org/austin/⟩

The COLOPHON URL link doesn't have them. Ideally IMHO English man pages 
would have only ASCII characters

Of course, could use the regular < > characters

Regards, Jonny
