Limitations to International Character Support

MATLAB® does not support non 7-bit ASCII characters in the following features:

  • MATLAB C/C++ and Fortran engine library functions and the loadlibrary function cannot find files located in folder names that contain non 7-bit ASCII characters.

  • MATLAB C/C++ and Fortran engine library functions and the calllib function used to call C library functions cannot convert Unicode®-compatible input arguments of type char* to MATLAB character arrays.

  • The matlab.wsdl.createWSDLClient function cannot read non 7-bit ASCII characters in Web Services Description Language (WSDL) documents.

When you have a file containing text that has characters in a different encoding than that of your platform, when you save or publish your file, MATLAB displays those characters as garbled text.
