That means to pass ASCII charachtes, escape ISO-8859-1 characters, and to replace others with plain `X' (<https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=68741>). There is pod2man option --utf8 which disables any escaping and outputs UTF-8, but this is not default behaviour. This makes all manual pages from built packages to be mangled. See Debian bug report <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=480997>. Question is what to do. Should we be faster than upstream and make UTF-8 output default? Should defaults you locale encoding? (Fedora packages are built in C locale.)
