Hello people,
My problem is, when I try to put special characters in matlab, it never shows the correct character.
e.g.: legend('Estação') is shows EstaÃSÃSo
What should I do ?

Your example works for me on OS-X. What OS are you using? What font are you using?
Note: There is a different issue, which is that Unicode character positions beyond 255 will not work in MATLAB.

@Arthur can you change the size or type face of the font (e.g., in the legend or title)?

You may want to see this question. It appears that on Windows the windows-1252 character set is used while on Linux (and Mac) a different character set is used. As a work around you might be able to use the TeX/LaTeX interpreter.
legend({'Esta\c{c}\H{a}o'}, 'interpreter', 'latex')
Note that the {} around the string is needed in order to pass PV pairs (although the documentation is a little unclear about this).
