I tried with your patch, both with asciidoc7 and asciidoc8.  Did
you really mean "&#x2302;" above?  Replacing them with "."  gave

I did mean it.  I originally just had .ft, but I was getting \&.ft in the 
manpage, which then just came out as .ft in the console.

I got the &#x2302; from 
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/manpages/utility.xsl, 
so I assumed it was the "correct" thing to use ...

This was with asciidoc 7 and docbook xsl stylesheet 1.72.0.

whatever that 2302 is...
&#x2302; (or U+2302) seems to be a character from the unicode "Misc. 
Technical" section ... looks a bit like a house.

See sixth bullet from 
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/RELEASE-NOTES.html#V1.72.0_Manpages

looks like it may need to depend on which docbook xsl version you are 
using ...
