adjtimex.2, futex.2, mremap.2, seccomp.2, getnameinfo.3, random.3, console_codes.4, sysfs.5, sched.7, unicode.7: Use zero‐width space in appropriate locations
Quoting Branden:
*roff systems will interpret the period in the unpatched
page as sentence-ending punctuation and put inter-sentence
spacing after it. (This might not be visible on
nroff/terminal devices, but it is more likely to be on
typesetter/PostScript/PDF output).
groff_man(7) in groff 1.22.4 attempts to throw man page
writers a bone here:
\& Zero‐width space. Append to an input line to prevent
an end‐of‐ sentence punctuation sequence from being
recognized as such, or insert at the beginning of an
input line to prevent a dot or apostrophe from being
interpreted as the beginning of a roff request.
