Update of bug #54893 (project octave):
Status: None => Invalid
Open/Closed: Open => Closed
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
This is expected behavior.
Octave (and most generally Linux as well) uses UTF-8. The degree symbol
consists of two bytes in UTF-8:
>> s1 = 'N43\302\26038''19.39"';
>> uint8 (s1)
ans =
78 52 51 194 176 51 56 39 49 57 46 51 57 34
You are replacing only half of the bytes that make up the degree symbol. So
you are left with a non-interpretable byte that is shown by the character
replacement symbol.
The following does what you probably want:
strrep(s1, "\xC2\xB0", "\x3A")
Closing as invalid.
