passing unicode strings to standalone MATLAB application

Is there a way to correctly pass a unicode string to a standalone application compiled with MATLAB compiler?

I would like to pass in file names which are unicode (two byte characters) to process using MATLAB code compiled with MATLAB compiler. But it seems the default varargin command line arguments are based off ASCII strings and so they do not have the correct file name.

You can read Unicode string and then convert it to the required format using following command:

 bytes = unicode2native(unicodestr,encoding)

Refer following documentation for the command:
