Details:

I do not think what I will talk is a bug.

In command window


>> ls


output window is broken.
However I can see Japanese character is represented.

See an attached file (After_ls.png).

If I change codepage by "chcp" command:


>> system('chcp 65001')


codepage 65001 is for utf8.


>> ls


See the other attachment fils (After_ls_cp65001.png)

This time the representation of command window in not broken but Japanese
character cannot be represented.

The character code in the editor octave-gui seems to be utf-8.
I could handle Japanese character without problem on the Ubuntu using
octave-gui of ver. 4.0.0rc1.

However, the command window in windows (win7 I have tested), the codepage is
932 (shift-jis). 
Perhaps the problem is caused by codepage of "command prompt" with which
windows version octave-gui handles "command window".

I do no have any good idea to treat Japanese Character on windows by
octave-gui.

For the moment, I will not use Japanese character in octave-gui in windows.
