Problem with Russian letters in comments

When I write Russian comments in Matlab starting with the “%” symbol, then after the next entry into Matlab, in the place of Russian letters, there are question marks “?”. How to solve this problem?

Hello,

It appears that MATLAB is not identifying Russian characters correctly and question marks are appearing instead, it could be due to the incorrect encoding being used.

To get a better understanding of the current locale settings in MATLAB, you can use the command:

feature('locale') 

Setting the encoding to 'UTF-8' should solve this issue,

You can refer to the following link to change the encoding to UTF-8
