I'm writing a research paper using troff (and the -ms macros) and I
need to reference an author whose name has a double-dotted-o in it.
This character isn't listed in the list of special characters at the
end of the troff reference.  I've tried several "obvious" sequences,
but none have worked.  Does this letter exist?  If so, how do I get it
to print?
