Read Arabic Text from Excel and print it

I read Arabic Text from Excel, I need to print it in text file I can see the value in debugging in variable editor but when I print it in file it printed as symbols

here is the code

[num,txt,raw] = xlsread(file_name,'All','B1:B10');

filO = fopen(fname, 'w');
for im=1:(size(txt,1))
    x=cell2mat(txt(im));

      fwrite(filO,x)
  end

the output file contains the following

ےےے ےےےے ےےےےے ےےے ےےےےے ےےےےےےے ےےے ےےے ےےےےے ےےےےے ےےےےے ےےےےےے

thank you very much for your response

I tried all solutions it didn't give correct value

the problem that the value stores in variable is Arabic as I viewed it by variable editor among debugging , but it not printed correctly in text file

[Walter Roberson]

You probably need to open the text file with 'wt' and UTF-8 attributes, and probably need to fprintf() the characters rather than fwrite() them, so that they will be translated to UTF-8.

It might be matter of encoding, that is fwrite might be using ASCII or windows-1252. Try making the file UTF-8

fid = fopen(fname,'w','n','UTF-8')
