There's /src/main-cli.cc, which includes "octave.h", from libinterp/octave.h and its corresponding implementation libinterp/octave.cc.

That looks like a good place to start looking to see if there's any lower level file this should correspond to.

Also, I don't understand the role of `OCTAVE_HAVE_WINDOWS_UTF8_LOCALE`, which seems to depend on `__MSVCRT_VERSION__`, so on the machine doing the compilation. Shouldn't this depend on the Windows version, as is checked in the GUI version of this? Anyway, found the commit https://github.com/gnu-octave/octave/commit/b70358e7fd78cedab82638da5165579a777ebf1a

The Octave CLI uses the system code page on Windows. On supported systems, it should use UTF-8 instead (e.g. for sym or international character support in general).
The GUI command window correctly uses UTF-8 on supported systems. This is done in "libgui\qterminal\libqterminal\win32\QWinTerminalImpl.cpp" @ around line 387.
This code is not executed in CLI mode and should be moved to a better position. Where would that be?
Any hints would be appreciated.
