file, you may have to use a different encoding scheme. UTF-8 is often used to handle

multilingual characters. In R2011b, to handle multilingual characters, you can change

the default encoding scheme to UTF-8 by switching the MathWorks locale database.

Note that changing the default encoding scheme might cause characters other than 7-bit

ASCII characters in existing text files to be garbled.

See How the MATLAB Process Uses Locale Settings for more information.

How to Change MATLAB's Default Encoding to UTF-8

You can change the default encoding scheme on Mac OS X platforms by using the UTF-8

locale database found in the matlabroot/bin folder. If you have text files containing

characters other than 7-bit ASCII characters, you must convert the encoding before

changing the default encoding. For instructions, see “How to Convert Text File Encoding

to UTF-8” on page 8-4.

To change the default locale database, type:

mldir = fullfile(matlabroot,'bin');

copyfile(fullfile(mldir,'lcdata.xml'),...

fullfile(mldir,'lcdata_default.xml'));

copyfile(fullfile(mldir,'lcdata_utf8.xml'),...

fullfile(mldir,'lcdata.xml'));

How to Convert Text File Encoding to UTF-8

Before converting a file, copy the file to a new directory.

Use the Mac OS X TextEdit application to convert the file encoding. For example:

Open a MATLAB text file with TextEdit.

Select File ->Save as...

Change the file name.

Change Plain Text Encoding: to Unicode (UTF-8).

Save the file.

Alternatively, the following MATLAB code creates a new text file with the encoding set to

UTF-8:

function convertencoding(infile, outfile)

fpIn = fopen(infile, 'r', 'n');
