Inspired by the question in https://github.com/GenericMappingTools/pygmt/issues/1994, we need to add a tutorial explaining how to correctly use octal codes in PyGMT.

Hi @seisman, So far, I want to add the tutorial to examples/tutorials/basics/text.py I have some ideas to show 1) incorrect v.s. correct usage 2) correct usage with setting PS_CHAR_ENCODING to Standard+ or ISOLatin1+ Do you have other idea to show the example ?

Sounds good. Also need to teach users how to read the big octal tables.
