fprintf function prints Unicode characters to the screen
The fprintf function now displays Unicode
®
characters on the screen. Previously, text
was displayed with the user default character encoding, which is dependent on the user
locale.
Compatibility Considerations
When displaying non-ASCII text on the screen, the fprintf function might return a
different output value for the number of displayed bytes, compared to previous versions
of MATLAB. This output value is now equal to the number of characters displayed on the
screen.
There are no changes to the behavior of fprintf when writing text to a file, or when
printing ASCII text to the screen.
Changes to default encoding for sendmail function
When calling the sendmail function on systems using a Japanese locale, the default
character encoding is now UTF-8. Previously, the default encoding was SJIS.
Compatibility Considerations
This change affects only systems that use a Japanese locale. To use the SJIS character
encoding, call:
setpref('Internet','E_mail_Charset','SJIS');
