Details:

As reported on the mailing list by Chris Zheng[1]:
With version 4.4.1, the following code

title('é');
print n.svg


results in garbage content in the figure window, but the right content in the
SVG file. However with version 5.0.90 downloaded from [2], the above code
results in right content on the screen but wrong content in the SVG file (the
wrong content is encoded in GBK which is my locale encoding).


I can confirm what was described with the 5.0.90 build on Windows 10: The
strings in the .svg should be UTF-8 encoded. But they seem to be encoded in
Latin-1 (which is my locale encoding).
