I have to work with a few directories containing umlauts [öäü]. When using
copyfile to copy files from there to elsewhere it doesn't work:

[s, m] = copyfile('C:\Täst\Neues Textdokument.txt', 'C:\Neues
Textdokument.txt')

This gives me

cp: cannot stat '"C:/T'$'\303\244''st/Neues Textdokument.txt"': No such file
or directory
s = 0
m =

The Octave cp.exe seems to be the problem here. I'm using Windows 10 22H2 in
German.
