[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47571] Problem with umlaut in command line

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #47571 (project octave):

The lowercase ü is correctly interpreted as bytes 195 and 188 in that
sequence, according to UTF-8. To verify: bitand(195,31) * 64 + bitand(188,63)
== 252 == 0xFC == the Unicode character for ü. The UTF-8 stream for Latin-1
is of the form 110xxxxx 10yyyyyy. Discard the 110 and 10 to get xxxxxyyyyyy.
Longer byte sequences do similar calculations. This means Octave is internally
and implicitly doing UTF-8 normalization even on Windows -- JWE please correct
if wrong.

Not able to reproduce the "delete rest of word" action. Continuing. Probably
copy-pasting UTF-16 on Windows is being misinterpreted by Octave as UTF-8, and
excess chars are being executed as word processing commands. Need to test
more.

Martl, do you get "delete rest of word" only on Octave or on, say, Notepad and
other applications as well?
