Coder UTF16 (emxArray_char16_T) support

Hello

I am trying to convert a matlab code using coder GUI. My code takes char array input of sizes (:infx32) which may include some UTF16 characters like 𐍈𐌴𐍂𐌰𐌹. Hence I need matlab to convert this variable into emxArray_char16_T. I tried to give these kind of UTF16 inputs in test code to make the coder understands I need char16_t. However it still converts the variable into emxArray_char_T datatype in C++ code. It gives errors when I give UTF16 input in C++. I also tried to give the input as uint16 and inside the function I converted this uint16 input to char array. However this did not work too.

So does Matlab supports emxArray_char16_T? If yes how?

Thanks,

Hi Mehmet,

As of the latest R2024a update, I don't believe MATLAB Coder supports generating code for handling UTF-16 characters. You can follow the documentation link below for more information on this topic:
