How to make Matlab print special characters on plots?

Hi, all,
I'm currently trying to put a colored line on the side of the title on a subplot, but clueless about how to do it properly. I figured a possible workaround would be to put special characters inside the title, so that they can form a line and be colored.
The problem is, while Matlab will recognize the characters in the Editor, when ploted, it becomes an "?". Any ideas on how to deal with it?
By the way, the characters I tried were: * ▮ * ▀ * ▁ * ▂ * ▃ * ▄ * ▅ * ▆ * ▇ * █ * ▉ * ▊ * ▋ * ▍ * ▎ * ▏ * ▐ * ▮ * ─ * ━ * │ * ┃

I'm impressed that you are able to insert these special charatcers in the forum message. How did you do this?

I suggest to use a line, if you need a line.
Perhaps this works:
titleH = get(SubplotH, 'Title');
set(titleH, 'units', 'data');
Ext = get(titleH, 'Extent');
ExtRight = Ext(1) + Ext(3);
ExtBottom = Ext(2);
ExtHeight = Ext(4);
line([ExtRight, ExtRight], [ExtBottom, ExtBottom + ExtHeight], ...
'LindeWidth', 4.5);
This is just a concept, because I cannot run or test it currently!
