[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #35910] Incorrect regex matching of multi-byte UTF-8 characters

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #23, bug #35910 (project octave):

This is a general difference between Octave and Matlab not only affecting this
function:
Matlab seems to use UCS-2 to encode characters (a subset of UTF-16). Octave
uses UTF-8 (in more and more places - maybe consistently one day).

Maybe you could try the following?

regexprep (native2unicode (181, 'latin1'), 'u', 'micro')


The characters 0-255 of Unicode "incidentally" equate to Latin-1. That's why
it happens to work in Matlab.
