Does Matlab 2011b Recognize Japanese and Full width characters in its Simulink model

Hello,

I know the process of getting unicode characters as far as Japanese and Full width characters is concerned, but my question is why Matlab 2011b is not able to print Japanese or Full Width Characters or even not able to recognise them when we put them in description of model or description of block or block name or annotations in simulink model? Is there an approach to make it possible for Matlab 2011b to accept Japanese and Full width characters in its Simulink Model?

[Walter Roberson]

I do not think mdl files were able to handle Unicode back then, but slx might possibly have been able to.

Thank you for the confirmation that mdl file cannot handle unicode because I did the same in Matlab 2016b and its working fine but applying the same approach to Matlab 2011b it is not working , so thats why I asked the question

[Walter Roberson]

I am not positive, but if I recall correctly .mdl were plain text files that were not UTF8 encoded,

[Rahul]

Yes even by using Matlab program, if we happen to print the Japanese Character in Simulink model like as an annotations, it wont give the proper Japanese font, I have seen that .Thank you very much for your response.

[Rahul]

I found one way to allow Japan characters be entered and printed in Simulink Model and command window which is

slCharacterEncoding('Shift_JIS').

Actually before opening any model we should run the above command

[Walter Roberson]

Ah, yes, I forgot about that.
