Cyrylic in Matlab .m file save and run issues

I am sure there should be a solution out there for using matlab with different alphabet that Latin.

When I run a script with Cyrillic strings from the command window, the code works fine.

When I try to run a script from the editor window the encoding is confused. When I save the .m file, and then open it the Cyrillic strings are lost and only ? characters appear. Also the gui displays ?? characters. The Windows is set for English settings if this matters.

Unfortunately when your locale is set to English, MATLAB saves files as 8 bits rather than as UTF-8 .

The discussion at https://www.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 might perhaps help.
