man complex (from release 3.18) contains the following code:

Reading the C99 standard, "complex" is not a valid type, and several
compilers (Intel ICC, ARM RVCT) will refuse to compile.
It should be
    double complex z = cexp(I * pi);
instead.

such an explicit indication on pages encoded in anything
other than ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8 is useful for man-pages
that aren't shipped in UTF-8.
