The extension documentation suggests to users they should change the default character encoding for matlab files in vscode settings, but the default character encoding is utf-8 on macOS and therefore does not require any change. The suggestion in the extension documentation implicitly pertains to windows, but this may be confusing to users and will create big headaches if someone actually makes he suggested change. In matlab, use feature('DefaultCharacterSet') to see the default encoding.
