[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56805] Using unrecognized char in text results in infinite warning loop

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #56805 (project octave):

Octave uses UTF-8 as its internal encoding. "char(169)" isn't valid UTF-8. You
could use the following code to convert from UTF-16 to UTF-8:

native2unicode([0 169], 'utf-16')


Or similarly from Latin1 to UTF-8:

native2unicode(169, 'latin1').'


Notwithstanding, the error message on the development branch could be
clearer.

Additionally, it looks like "native2unicode" produces a column vector for a
scalar input which is probably an additional bug.
