Follow-up Comment #5, bug #57596 (project octave):
Also, maybe a minor revision to the documentation's wording is in order: I
think maybe "character entity" is a misnomer here? When dealing with character
encoding, usually people talk about "code points", "code units", "characters",
and character values. Never "entities". The only place I've heard the specific
phrase "character entity" is in the context of HTML and XML escaping (e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references),
which has nothing to do with what's going on here.
