Sorry, I was too fast in reading the OP :-)
Tested the same under 3.8.1-GUI; same behaviour. Yet it was started as
env LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 octave --force-gui
I ran it under the debugger. help.m calls __makeinfo__.m. At line 126, we
have:
fwrite (fid, text);
With your example, the end of text contains unicode characters; yet in the
generated file the unicode chars are garbled. This file is then passed to
the external program 'makeinfo', which should respect the @documentencoding
directive. But garbled in results in garbled out.
I suppose the issue lies in fwrite implementation. Could you please report
it as a bug on Savannah ?
Regards
Pascal
