Below I have included a listing of special Troff characters that I have
found (or created). It comes out of an appendix to a report that I
wrote on my exprience with typesetter-independent troff. Your mileage
may vary.
The code is from the Xerox Character Encoding Standard (XSIS 058404).
The modivation is to provide a way for people in different places to
uniquely identify graphic symbols. Also Xerox trys to be compatible
with various ISO etc. standards. Some character code assignments are
provisional.
The origin is my guess which implementation first used that character
name.
