[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #56805] Using unrecognized char in text results in infinite warning loop

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #56805 (project octave):

@Rik: I was trying with Octave 5.1.0 installed on Windows 10 and the result
for "native2unicode(169, 'latin1')" was a column vector. (Hence the transpose
operator in comment #2.)

You are right. It would be better to use the transpose operator in the code
you cited.
And the condition in this code is probably what causes the problem. Both isrow
and iscolumn are true for a scalar input. The transpose should only be done
for "true" column vectors. Maybe we could use something like:

if (numel (native_bytes) > 1 && iscolumn (native_bytes))
  utf8_str = utf8_str.';
endif


or maybe easier:

if (! isrow (native_bytes))
  utf8_str = utf8_str.';
endif
