[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59203] [octave forge] (io) Problem with xlsread importing accent marks

[Philip Nienhuis]

Follow-up Comment #14, bug #59203 (project octave):

@Markus:
Thanks very much for the patches and the unicode test spreadsheet. I'll check
it out asap.

> _Please, remove "unicode2utf8" and "utf82unicode"_
Hmmm, while unicode2native couldn't do the job here, unicode2utf8 did.
Anyway I'd like to keep them around a little longer.
Did you try reading the spreadsheet uploaded by the OP? (its XML is encoded in
UTF8, I checked earlier tonight.) I couldn't get meaningful results with
unicode2native.

Anyway, makes me wonder how the Java based interfaces do their job as regards
encoding conversion. They're all OSS but each of them is a daunting pile of
code to dig though.
