Since you're using a release pre-R2020a, the default to store m-files is not UTF-8. That means any special character has a very high risk of being mangled. You need to explicitly put in the special chars like I did below, or load the text from a file.

f=figure(1);clf(1)
h=uicontrol('Parent',f,'style','popup','units','norm','position',[0.3 0.3 0.3 0.3]);
set(h,'string',{['Ch' 7843 'y'],['D' 7867 'o ch' 7843 'y']});
