[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56782] GNU Octave encoding issues under windows

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #56782 (project octave):

There is a problem in Octave 5.1 that the selected encoding for .m files is
not restored on startup.
You can either change the encoding in the settings and call "clear functions"
to trigger the .m files being parsed again. Or you could call the internal
function "__mfile_encoding__". For UTF-8 encoding that would be:

__mfile_encoding__ ("utf-8");
clear functions


You could also add these lines to your start-up file.

The issue is already fixed for Octave 6.1 that might be released around the
end of this year.
