You cannot use fopen() and related commands to write in Microsoft Word format, at least not without a lot of difficulty. You need to use ActiveX to open a Word session and tell it what you want to write.

MATLAB: How can i display Amharic fonts on MATLAB GUI whose unicode ranges from &#4608 t0 &#4988

Unicode is not supported in plots or uicontrols before R2014b. Which MATLAB version are you using, and which font are you configuring?

Actually in OS-X in R2014a (before the full Unicode support), the following works for me:

    pushbutton = uicontrol('style', 'push', 'string', '<html>ab&#4608;&#4609;&#4610;&#4611;c');

However, setting an edit control to this or to contain the unicode characters does not work in R2014a

MATLAB: Unicode characters in .m file

For R2017a, the steps are similar to the ones described in 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. The only difference is that the matlabroot/bin/lcdata.xml file no longer describes all standard locales and encodings. But you can still use this file for customizing the locale database.

For my case, the encoding is windows-1252 (you can find your encoding using the feature('locale') command), and therefore, I added the following lines to the <lcdata> ... </lcdata> block in lcdata.xml.

<codeset>
  <encoding name="UTF-8">
    <encoding_alias name="windows-1252" />
  </encoding>
</codeset>

Just modify based on your own system encoding.
