How do I change the default encoding of MATLAB?

I opened the.m file that someone sent me and found that the Chinese characters inside were garbled.

I want to change the default encoding mode of matlab. The encoding mode of my matlab is GBK, and I want to change it to UTF-8.

Hi 涛,

From my understanding, you want to change the default encoding of your MATLAB to UTF-8.

You can do this by running the following command -

feature('DefaultCharacterSet', 'UTF8')

More precisely, I might want to change the default encoding of the matlab editor to GBK. Thank you.

Hi 涛,

You can change the encoding to GBK in a similar way -

feature('DefaultCharacterSet', 'GBK')

Thank you. I'll give it a try
