Displaying some special character (for example char(181) 'µ') disable the
display in the console.

This is independent on the encoding !

Type following command in the console

  s1=char(181)                     -> The display is disabled

This can be checked by typing 

a=3 (or help fft or ...).

But typing something undefined displays the error.

Rem : I know that the correct conversion would be char(native2unicode(181,
'Windows-1252')), but char(181) should not affect Octave stability.
