Is this a question about optical character recognition, or is this a question about reading a file represented in UTF-8 or UTF-16 that contains Unicode encoded Kannada characters?

[Swapna Havalgi]

yes it is a text processing question to read a file containing unicode encoded kannada characters.

[Swapna Havalgi]

Thank you for the response but in the code below what does 'yourtext=' mean just a variable name?

[Walter Roberson]

YourText = native2unicode( uint8( fileread('YourUTF8File.txt') ), 'UTF-8');

[Swapna Havalgi]

what does ' YourText = ' mean just a variable name?

Is this code works with the higher versions of MATLAb i.e. R2014b and R2015b or with any version of matlab?

[Swapna Havalgi]

This code below is not reading the kannada text from the text document it is just showing the boxes (tofu) can anyone suggest solution ?

Message  = native2unicode( uint8(
fileread('C:\Users\welcome\Desktop\YourUTF8File.txt') ), 'UTF-8');
text(.5,.5,Message,'HorizontalAlignment','center','FontName','Noto Sans Kannada','FontSize',18)
axis off
disp(Message);
