This works for me: .cflags 32 \[Q_S] .char \[Q_S] \h'.5n' .ss 12 48 \[lq]He said `seven.'\[Q_S]\[rq] John frowned *** The \| isn't truly a character, it simply instructs groff to pick up its pen and move a few steps to the right. By using the .char request we may create a virtual character to operate on.
