It has to be just "\fR", "\fB", ".sp" and ".br", not weird unicode
stuff.

Which versions of asciidoc and docbook-xsl are you using?

As the filename and comments imply, those weird Unicode characters  
were specifically for docbook-xsl 1.72.0. They were used in a  
"misguided" character replacement scheme (this behavior was reverted  
after 1.72.0). See the 'manpage' sections of the docbook-xsl release  
notes for some info on this:

<http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/RELEASE- 
NOTES.html#V1.72.0_Manpages>
<http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/RELEASE- 
NOTES.html#V1.73.0_Manpages>

If you are not using docbook-xsl 1.72.0, you should not be using  
manpage-1.72.xsl.

There have been some changes to the documentation generation options  
since 1.6.2. If you are able, get the most recent 1.6.3 release  
candidate, read the asciidoc and docbook-xsl comments in the  
Makefile, define your make settings accordingly, and try again  
(asciidoc 8.4.1 is broken for at least one of the pages, 8.4.2 and  
later seem OK).

asciidoc-8.4.4, docbook-style-xsl-1.73.2.

Yep.  Despite of using docbook-xsl 1.73.2 git was built with
DOCBOOK_XSL_172=1.  Without this option manual pages looks
correct.
