I have a little problem with the display of some characters in my matlab code. The header of data i read from a text file contains special characters, which i need to write down into my code. E.g. one column has the Name "T / °C". Now every time i close and reopen Matlab, the parts in my code are displayd like this: "T / �C". So everyday i have to replace all occurances of this character, and of course it is not the only character. Is there a way to solve this. I did not find any setting in the preferences.
Thank you!

You should change the encoding to UTF-8

Hello,
I think this typically suggests that MATLAB is misinterpreting the encoding format of your script files, especially if those files are saved in an encoding that accommodates special characters, such as UTF-8, but MATLAB seems to be reading them using an alternative encoding specification.
