-By default, B<pod2man> produces the most conservative possible *roff
-output to try to ensure that it will work with as many different *roff
-implementations as possible.  Many *roff implementations cannot handle
-non-ASCII characters, so this means all non-ASCII characters are converted
-either to a *roff escape sequence that tries to create a properly accented
-character (at least for troff output) or to C<X>.

-This option says to instead output literal UTF-8 characters.  If your
-*roff implementation can handle it, this is the best output format to use
-and avoids corruption of documents containing non-ASCII characters.
-However, be warned that *roff source with literal UTF-8 characters is not
-supported by many implementations and may even result in segfaults and
-other bad behavior.
+This option allows B<pod2man> to output literal UTF-8 characters.
+On OpenBSD, it is enabled by default and can be disabled with
+B<--no-utf8>, in which case non-ASCII characters are converted
+either to *roff escape sequences or to C<X>.
 
 Be aware that, when using this option, the input encoding of your POD
 source should be properly declared unless it's US-ASCII.  Pod::Simple will
