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

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #47571 (project octave):

On GNU/Linux systems, yes UTF-8 works because Octave treats all strings as
byte sequences. If a certain sequence of bytes makes up a multibyte character,
that's left to the terminal to render, Octave doesn't care.

I can open a rxvt terminal (non-Unicode aware) and a urxvt (Unicode-aware) and
run octave in them side-by-side and see different results for


>> char ([195, 188])


It appears that some users are able to enter UTF-8 characters in Octave on
Windows and some are not.
