That "CW" was generated by help2man so I'll CC this message to 
<bug-help2man <at> gnu.org> as per 
<https://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/#Reports>.

Can you suggest what help2man should use instead of \f(CW? Help2man 
needs be be portable to older groff and likely to traditional troff.

To the help2man maintainers: apparently groff now complains about \f(CW; 
see <https://bugs.gnu.org/74808>.
