Question: Why am I unable to use Korean block names and path names in Simulink 7.1 (R2008a)?

I implement the following steps in Simulink 7.1 (R2008a) 1. Open simulink new-model editor.  2. Drag and drop some block into the model.  3. Re-name the block in Korean and Save the model.  Simulink complains that Korean characters cannot be saved:   ??? Error using ==> save_system   If  I execute the following commands bdclose all; set_param(0, 'CharacterEncoding', 'ISO-8859-1') I can save mdl file with Korean named block.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2011b (R2011b).  For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds: 
 
There is a limitation in Simulink 7.1 (R2008a) in the way that non ISO-8859-1, US-ASCII, Windows-1252, or Shift-JIS, character encodings are saved or loaded for the first time. Attempting to save or load such a model will cause an error.
 
As a workaround, execute the following at the MATLAB command prompt, and then save the model.
 
load_system('simulink');

feature('MultibyteCharSetChecking',0);
