Using the following method:
for file in $(git diff --stat --name-only man-pages-3.58..man-pages-3.59 man* ) ; \     
        do diff -u      \
                <( man -l <( git show man-pages-3.58:${file} ) )        \
                <( man -l <( git show man-pages-3.59:${file} ) ) >> all-diff ; \
done

On my laptop, it shows differences for :

man -l man7/iso_8859-11.7
3.58:	241   161   A1     ก     THAI CHARACTER KO KAI
3.59:	241   161   A1     ¡     THAI CHARACTER KO KAI

man -l man7/iso_8859-13.7
3.58:	241   161   A1     ‘     RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
3.59:	241   161   A1     ¡     RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK

Given the intro of these manpages:
       The  following  table displays the characters in ISO 8859-13, which are
       printable and unlisted in the ascii(7) manual page.  The fourth column will
       only show the proper glyphs in an environment configured for ISO 8859-13.

I wonder the point of coding it in unicode, but I'm no locale expert.
