commit d24fd8e8f77a071f59617729d2554134609f659e
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    doc/ms.ms: Use \[ps] special character.

    ...instead of local character definition using numeric code point
    escape, which is less portable.

    Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?59528>.

Subject: [PATCH] doc/ms.ms: Warnings from "test-groff -Tdvi -ms -t -z ms.ms":

troff: backtrace: 'ms.ms':6: composite character 'pp'
troff: backtrace: file 'ms.ms':254
troff: ms.ms:254: warning: can't find numbered character 182

  and more lines

  There is no character number 182 in dvi-fonts.

  In other fonts this is the character \[ps], the paragraph symbol.

  Fixed by substituting "\N'182'" with "\(ps".
