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

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #27, bug #59203 (project octave):

That looks good to me, too.

IIRC, the "-v7" .mat files do some encoding conversions for character arrays
(that is for Matlab compatibility). That might lead to unexpected side effect
if the character arrays contain invalid UTF-8.
E.g., poitxt{6} looks correct to me when I load the file you attached. I don't
know how to best describe unotxt{6}. But it looks like it is "twice encoded"
in UTF-8.

Could you read the files again with these toolboxes and send what you see for
`uint8 (poitxt{6})` and `uint8 (unotxt{6})`.
