Incorrect display for special characters in the axis label

I am trying to display the special character Angstrom(char(197)) in the axis label. With char(197) only the display seems all right, but with anything in front of it the display is incorrect. Here is the code:

    figure;
    ylabel([char(197)],'Interpreter','tex','FontSize',20)
    xlabel(strcat('a',[char(197)]),'Interpreter','tex','FontSize',20)

As the y axis label displays Angstrom correctly, the x axis label only displays "a?", which shows incorrect encoding. Please help me with that issue. Thank you.

There is no error in your code

Both the x and y labels correctly display the Angstrom character for me, when I use your exact code. I am using the prerelease of R2013a.

Which operating system are you using, and which MATLAB version are you using? Also, which renderer are you using for your figure?

using your script I get "aÅ" on x-axis but you get "a?" ??

try the script below (even though its the same thing)

xlabel(['a',char(197)],'Interpreter','tex','FontSize',20)

If it's the same thing, what are you expecting?
