    groff_tmac(5),gropdf(1): Use better fallback.
    
    ...for \[u2717].  This approach is a true "last-resort" method that only
    takes effect if all glyph searches fail, including those of special
    fonts.  Discovered while comparing these pages' table output in the
    "ascii", "utf8", and "pdf" devices.  Neither `fchar` nor `schar` (used
    unconditionally) is quite what we want.
