input(msg, "string") does not support correctly UTF-8 inputs

Reported by Stéphanie Lescarret

-- Bug description --


When I declare a string in the Scilab Command Window whith accent like :
-->S = 'ôpéra'
 S  =
 
 ôpéra  

When i ask for its length :
-->length(S)
 ans  =
 
    7.  

When I declare the same string from a script :

-->S
 S  =
 
 ôpéra 

But when i ask its length :
-->length(S)
 ans  =
 
    5.  


It seems to be a problem on the command window. I've also found that when you respond to an input with a string with an accent, there's a problem.

-->x = input('Your name ?', 'string')
Your name ?: Gaëlle
 x  =
 
 Ga
