(In general I like to use 7-bit input anyway.)
So I understand it is best to have a latin1 (ISO 8859-1) coded input file for
.hcode with umlauts?

I put "preconv -e utf-8 <input files> | pic | ..." in front of the pipe and it
does not seem to work (I prefer the pipe instead of groff(1)). It converts "รค"
to "\[u00E4]" but pic(1) also complaines with "invalid input character code".
