Details:

When using saveas to save a figure object and the filename contains non 7-bit
characters or utf-8 characters, the filename created on disc is corrupted.
Example:


 fh=figure('name','test');
 saveas(fh,"Längs.pdf")
 hgsave(fh,"Längs.ofig")


The saveas command produces the following filename on disk:

"L�ngs.pdf"

The hgsave creates the correct filename as specified.
