[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59314] [octave forge] (mapping) str2angle fails to parse string with UTF-8 degree (°) character

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #59314 (project octave):

I think I lost you somewhere. Are you debating whether this change is save for
Octave prior to version 6?
If you are: I believe it is. 
A problematic pattern would e.g. be "[D°]" because in previous Octave
versions that would match any of the three bytes 0x44, 0xC2, and 0xB0
independently. That means it would also match the first byte of e.g. UTF-8
encoded "µ" (0xC2 0xB5).

If I read the regular expression correctly, there are no non-ASCII characters
in bracket expressions. My comment was just meant to warn about potential
changes to that regular expression.
