I did mean it. I originally just had .ft, but I was getting \&.ft in the manpage, which then just came out as .ft in the console.

I got the ⌂ from http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/utility.xsl, so I assumed it was the "correct" thing to use ...

This was with asciidoc 7 and docbook xsl stylesheet 1.72.0.

⌂ (or U+2302) seems to be a character from the unicode "Misc. Technical" section ... looks a bit like a house.

See sixth bullet from http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/RELEASE-NOTES.html#V1.72.0_Manpages

looks like it may need to depend on which docbook xsl version you are using ...
