MATLAB incorrectly recognizes UTF-8 Korean character

I am using MATLAB R2015b on Windows 10. OS language is Korean.

I've put the followings in `startup.m`

    feature('DefaultCharacterSet','UTF8');
    feature('DefaultCharacterSet') % check

    slCharacterEncoding('UTF-8');
    slCharacterEncoding() % check

When MATLAB start, it says:

    ans =
    UTF-8

    ans = 
    UTF-8

However, when I open a file coded with UTF-8, Korean characters are incorrectly displayed. On the left, the file is opened in Visual Studio Code, on the right, in MATLAB editor.

One thing is that,

    import java.nio.charset.Charset
    encoding = Charset.defaultCharset()

says

    encoding =
    x-windows-949

I think this is a root of the problem. Can I edit such configuration in Java for MATLAB?

[N/A]

I've added the followings in `java.opts` in the same place of `startup.m`, but it seems it does not have an effect.

    -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8
    -Dclient.encodindg=UTF-8
    -Dclient.encoding.override=UTF-8
