If you don't have DWB 2, it's not as straightforward; press "n" now.

With DWB 2 you basically have complete freedom here ... you specify the
name of the character (i.e., the "\(xx" sequence you want to use in your
source document) and also specify the character sequence that the printer
needs to see to put this character onto paper.  (Don't get carried away
though; as distributed, nroff only allows 128 special characters - you
may need to give up some Greek to get some European.  This limit is not
present with troff, but that's another story.)

Look at /usr/lib/nterm/tab.* and the nterm(5) Reference Manual Page.
