Mostly it's just less to memorize. Much easier to remember my compose key's
alt / o, as opposed to \(/o or \o or &oslash; or \u00F8  depending on where
I'm working at the moment.

mandoc_char(7) isn't much help either, as it's several pages long and
doesn't display the actual character in the terminal, so I have to take
a minute or so just to find the one character...
