The following things must be in place for MATLAB to display chinese unicode text:
1. The language preferences for your operating system must be properly set.
2. The character set must be supported by MATLAB. (eg. Big5 encoding)
3. The custom font preferences for the Editor and Command windows in MATLAB must be set to monospaced, plain. Go to File->Preferences->Fonts->Custom. Select 'Editor' or 'Command Window' from the text box and change the font preferences.
