\[U2026] prints an ellipsis and an additional space, so \[el] should be
better for the output. Is \[u ....] globally available for getting
Unicode characters?
Moreover I do not understand, what \[u2026] should mean. It looks like
a Unicode glyph/character, but I could not realize how.

Where is \N'188' better documented? groff.7 say only:
\N’n’ Typeset the glyph with index n in the current font. No special
fonts are searched. Useful for adding (named) entities to a
document using the char request and friends.
What is this `index'? Ehere did you get this number `188'?
