As a student of Computational Physics, because we have more teachers using Octave than Python.

However, its lack of support for Unicode variables and filenames is very frustrating in this day and age…

(I understand that they are being stuck due to Matlab having poor support too.)

I believe Unicode support was improved in this (6.1) release

Yes, it's mentioned in the review, but there are no details given. I doubt that Octave suddenly started supporting either of those features.
