        !            55: The values are interpreted in a settable numeric base;

        !           101: .SM UTF
        !           102: to numeric value or vice versa,
        !           103: depending on the appearance of the supplied text;

        !           105: .B -n
        !           106: option forces numeric output to avoid ambiguity with numeric characters.
        !           107: If converting to
        !           108: .SM UTF ,
        !           109: the characters are printed one per line unless the

        !           121: .I unicode
        !           122: may be unhelpful if the characters printed are not available in the current font.
