Why does Octave insert this strange character on my file?

I was creating the code bellow in Octave and I got some strange behaviour:

# Sou um lab feliz
# Jesus, nosso Senhor, te ama
S1 = single(1.0);
S2 = single(0.0);
k = 1;
while(true)
...

And it was looking fine for me. But when I ran the code I got this:

  parse error near line 1 of file 
  /home/gabriel/Documentos/Tarefas/Universidade/MS211/lab01.m
  syntax error
  ~}# Sou um lab feliz
   ^

These characters were not on my editor. When I opened it at VS Code they were actually there, I deleted them and everything worked fine. But when I used the Octave editor and saved the file, the same happened, every time, even in different files this happens. Why is this happening?

Me and some friends, we found the problem.

For some reason I don't know, the Octave was configured to save in the HZ-GB-2312 encoding, I think that's why it was saving wrong my file, when turned to UTF-8 it started to work well, as it would be working.
