<p>This parameter specifies the encoding to use for files generated
by the manpages stylesheet. Not all processors support specification
of this parameter.</p>

<div class="important" title="Important" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Important</h3>
  <p>If the value of the <a href="../manpages/man.charmap.enabled.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.charmap.enabled</code></em></a>
  parameter is non-zero (the default), keeping the
  <a href="../manpages/man.output.encoding.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.output.encoding</code></em></a> parameter at its default
  value (<code class="literal">UTF-8</code>) or setting it to
  <code class="literal">UTF-16</code> <span class="bold"><strong>does not cause your
  man pages to be output in raw UTF-8 or UTF-16</strong></span> -- because
  any Unicode characters for which matches are found in the enabled
  character map will be replaced with roff escape sequences before the
  final man-page files are generated.</p>

  <p>So if you want to generate "real" UTF-8 man pages, without any
  character substitution being performed on your content, you need to
  set <a href="../manpages/man.charmap.enabled.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.charmap.enabled</code></em></a> to zero (which will
  completely disable character-map processing). </p>

  <p>You may also need to set
  <a href="../manpages/man.charmap.enabled.html"><em class="parameter"><code>man.charmap.enabled</code></em></a> to zero if you want to
  output man pages in an encoding other than <code class="literal">UTF-8</code>
  or <code class="literal">UTF-16</code>. Character-map processing is based on
  Unicode character values and may not work with other output
  encodings.</p>
