I am currently using Matlab 2017a, but the display of Chinese language is messed up, how can I solve this?

My code has many notations written in Chinese and I can not read them now. thanks a lot for the help.

Your code is written with Chinese, but what is the locale set to on your computer?

In addition to Walter's question, could you provide an screenshot of how the Chinese characters are appearing? Do they appear as blocks, question marks, etc?

i just found other solution for that, you need open your code open with notpad++ and it will show you all other language comments

NOTE; i will not work with simple notepad ,,, so you need Notepad++

I also got the same problem with the R2017b.

All Chinese comments cannot be displayed correctly but question marks. I try the method below to sort it out but failed. Because when I open the file lcdata.xml, I cannot find the part which the answer writer want me to change. https://cn.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/280988-how-do-i-get-my-matlab-editor-to-read-utf-8-characters-utf-8-characters-in-blank-squares-in-editors

Does someone know how to fix it? Thks
