question about man font conventions
i was viewing the gawk's man file,checked the man faqs,didnt find anything about the char "e" meaning

Code:
.TP
.B \e`
matches the empty string at the beginning of a buffer (string).
.TP
.B \e'
matches the empty string at the end of a buffer.

after convention,it should looks like thie

Code:
\`  matches the empty string at the beginning of a buffer (string).
\'   matches the empty string at the end of a buffer.

but some non english system doesn't show the ' and ` correctly,so i am here to find an anwser
thanks
