In a utf-8 locale, nroff defaults to the utf8 device, which is why the
nroff example as written did not work for you.
It seems that you need support for u0075_030A in the groff font file if
you want to use the unicode combining sequence.
This:
:; grep u0075_030A /usr/share/groff/1.22.2/font/*/R
/usr/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devhtml/R:u0075_030A 24 0 0x016F
/usr/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devutf8/R:u0075_030A 24 0 0x016F
shows that only those two devices have it by default.
The aring example worked because the font/devps/TR file has explicit
support for the type1 /aring glyph. It also support the /ring glyph,
so maybe something like:
\o'u\C\'ao\''
is the way to go? \o'' overstrikes up to nine glyphs; \C'ao' is the ring glyph.
It works here for ps, dvi and pdf devices. But only for troff; nroff
only show the last glyph from the \o'' set.
(I used http://cm.bell-labs.com/sys/doc/troff.pdf to learn \o'' and \C''
and looked at /usr/share/groff/1.22.2/font/devps/TR to find the roff
name (ao) for the ring glyph.)
