I don't know if this will work in every version of nroff.  This came
from a 3B2 running the nroff in DWB 2.0.  There is an undocumented
trick to enter 8-bit in charset table.  It consists of preceding the
octal by "%".  Here is a sample from the table I use for a printer with
then an IBM character set.

charset
C, 1 %\200
u: 1 %\201
e' 1 %\202
a^ 1 %\203
a: 1 %\204
a` 1 %\205
*a 1 %\340
*b 1 %\341
*g 1 %\342
*d 1 %\353
*e 1 %\356
