Follow-up Comment #6:

This is solved by changeset dff830c84726 for bug #49685:
https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/dff830c84726

For the originally motivating example (`help sym`), the output is correct even
if the mfile encoding is set to "system" (the default; "CP1252" on my Windows
machine) when I add a file ".oct_config" with the following content to the
package directory:

encoding=utf-8


Adding those files to the packages should be tracked in separate bug reports.

Closing as fixed.
