Patch to fix decimal values in encoding tables

Octal and hexadecimal values are right, but there are some off-by one
errors in decimal values, e.g. several files contain lines
  oct  dec  hex  description
  377  254  ff   RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
instead of
  377  255  ff   RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK

Correct values are printed by this command:

  perl -pi -e 'if (s/^([0-7]+)\t([0-9]+)\t([0-9a-fA-F]+)//)
    {printf "%03o\t%d\t%s", hex($3), hex($3), $3;};' man7/*.7

A patch is attached, this is the same file I already sent to the linux-man
mailing list 
  http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-man/msg01197.html

It would also be better IMHO to recode all these pages into UTF-8.
