    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Running the following function in Octave 4.2.0 results in a messed-up terminal
window:


function e = faa()
  e = '著'
end


The terminal alignment appears ruined by the double-column character '著',
with the input prompt ">>" shifted to the right side of the screen. Stacking
multiple such characters with strings like '世界' causes the ">>" to
gradually shift back to the left.
