uicontrol('style', 'edit') have a String property which is always a string or cell array of strings. Those strings can contain any character known to MATLAB (U+0000 to U+ffff). The more difficult part is to pull apart the string once you have it.

If you're using GUIDE, you can get the string in the edit text box from the properties of it. Let's say your edit text box has a tag "userInput". Then you just do

theString = handles.userInput.String;

If you have a really old version of MATLAB (prior to R2014b) you'll have to use the get() function:

theString = get(handles.userInput, 'String');

if you start working from others have stopped, you win the effort they've put.

Collaboration and cooperation are usually more productive than confrontation,

or denial by trying to build on your own what is already freely available out there.

Your calculator GUI effort, would you choose to, could start from any of the following:
