MATLAB console output used high-ASCII sometimes, e.g. for its prompt ( » ). In R2025A it may output UTF8, e.g., for zpk() output:
z =
0×1 empty double column vector
p =
9.900494692205900e-01
k =
9.950657811787363e-03
This ‘feature’ is a nuisance when interchanging text with other programs. Is there a built-in function to convert these occasional UTF non-ASCII characters to a reasonable approximation in standard ASCII? ( like ‘x’ or ‘>>’) ?
Or is this behavior to be considered a bug that will be fixed (there appear to be quite a few nuisance bugs in R2025a).
