- <para>This parameter specifies the encoding to use for files generated
 
- by the manpages stylesheet. Not all processors support specification
 
- of this parameter.</para>
 
- <important>
 
-   <para>If the value of the <parameter>man.charmap.enabled</parameter>
 
-   parameter is non-zero (the default), keeping the
 
-   <parameter>man.output.encoding</parameter> parameter at its default
 
-   value (<literal>UTF-8</literal>) or setting it to
 
-   <literal>UTF-16</literal> <emphasis role="bold">does not cause your
 
-   man pages to be output in raw UTF-8 or UTF-16</emphasis> -- because
 
-   any Unicode characters for which matches are found in the enabled
 
-   character map will be replaced with roff escape sequences before the
 
-   final man-page files are generated.</para>
 
-   <para>So if you want to generate "real" UTF-8 man pages, without any
 
-   character substitution being performed on your content, you need to
 
-   set <parameter>man.charmap.enabled</parameter> to zero (which will
 
-   completely disable character-map processing). </para>
 
-   <para>You may also need to set
 
-   <parameter>man.charmap.enabled</parameter> to zero if you want to
 
-   output man pages in an encoding other than <literal>UTF-8</literal>
 
-   or <literal>UTF-16</literal>. Character-map processing is based on
 
-   Unicode character values and may not work with other output
 
-   encodings.</para>
