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

<important>
  <para>If the value of the <parameter>man.charmap.enabled</parameter>
  parameter is non-zero (the default), keeping the
  <parameter>man.output.encoding</parameter> parameter at its default
  value (<literal>UTF-8</literal>) or setting it to
  <literal>UTF-16</literal> <emphasis role="bold">does not cause your
  man pages to be output in raw UTF-8 or UTF-16</emphasis> -- 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.</para>

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

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