-Tutf8
only selects the output device. If you want groff
to accept Unicode input, use the -K
switch.
Another way to have Cyrillic is simply to use Tlatin1
to enable eight-bit character codes, and feed groff
a source file in a single-byte encoding such as CP 1251
or KOI8-R
. Don't forget to prepare your hyphenation file accordingly.
