Problem with displaying hebrew when moving files from windows to linux

Hello,

I'm using matlab 2018R (both machines). I moved my MATLAB code and fig files from a windows environment to a linux environment and when I tried to open the files the hebrew characters became squares.

In the linux environment, after using fonts such as David CLM I can type and open locally saved files with hebrew characters without a problem. As i said, the problem is only when I try and open a file saved in a windows environment.

In linux:

unicode2native(native2unicode('משהו בעברית'))

fails because

slCharacterSet()

returns 'Windows-1252'

when I do

slCharacterSet('UTF-8')
unicode2native(native2unicode('משהו בעברית'))

it returns משהו בעברית

So I tried also applying it to the windows machine using the feature command (I don't have Simulink in the windows enviroinment):

feature('DefaultCharacterSet','UTF-8')

and then

feature('DefaultCharacterSet')

returns UTF-8, so I had high hopes for that but then it also failed....):

I guess I should somehow change the way matlab saves the file so it would be UTF-8 but I don't know how.

Please help!

Thanks!

try adding the unicode for Hebrew to your system from language settings as in the attached picture...
