ROFF is a format used in UNIX MAN pages. For reading SYNRC N2O.DEV pages in UTF-8 you'll need groff supporting -K option:
$ curl https://n2o.dev/deps/n2o/groff/man/ua/bert.js.1 \ | groff -i -man -K utf8 -Tutf8
This could be achieved with (e.g. in Mac):
$ brew install groff
Also please ensure that you have the following /etc/man.conf:
