[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41124] Some keyboard layouts cannot input characters

[Pantxo Diribarne]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #41124 (project octave):

Here is what I obtain in the gui :


>> char (233)
ans = �
>> char (126:255)
ans =
~��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������
>> val = double ("é")
val =

   195   169

>> char (val)
ans = é
>> sprintf ("é")
ans = é


So that the command window :
 - accepts the input "é" : it's not a key sequence, but a proper key on my
keyboard, 
 - displays "é" fine, 
 - *does not display "é"* as a result of "char (233)" (in CLI neither) but
"?", same for any character from 128:255. 
 - *does display "é"* as a result of "char (double ("é"))".

I am not able to interpret the last 2 points, and I am not sure any of those
is related to this particular bug. 

The problem is that e.g. opening bracket (BTW it's an ascii character, 91),
can be displayed but once you know how to input it :-)
