Matlab claims to be Unicode compliant, but only characters whose code # is ≤255 can be saved in .m files. I can accept that Matlab code words must be in ASCII, but there should be no such constraints on characters in comments or text strings. It would be nice if useful characters, like "≈", "Ω", "≤","≥", etc., could be saved in comments. On a similar note, while a character whose code is ≥128 and ≤255 can be stored in .m files, it is not possible to include them directly in graphics labels or text; typing '\circ' (1970s LaTex convention) seems clunky compared to "Alt+0176" (or pasted from another document) for the degrees symbol(°).
