uni2ascii -B should also convert
$ unicode 0x2022
U+2022 BULLET etc.
So one needn't do e.g.,
    n=`/usr/bin/man -w $i`
    zcat $n|man2html|sed 's/•/o/g'|ascii2uni -qa Y|uni2ascii -qB > $i.html

You can make several tiers of conversions, if you don't think "o" is a
good choice for 0x2022. The user could pick his level of "daring". The
point is there are still lots of punctuation that uni2ascii doesn't yet cover.
