Details:

When getting the file name with 
[F_name, F_path, fltidx] = uigetfile(...)

neither F_name nor F_path strings can be used further for traversing folders
and accessing the file data.

Example:
Try creating the file like "ＴＥＳＴテスト①.csv"

execute:
[Fin_name, Fin_path, fltidx] = uigetfile  ({'*.csv', 'CSV data (*.csv)';}, 
'Pick files', "MultiSelect", "on");

Check variables:
>> Fin_name
Fin_name = ＴＥＳＴテスト①.csv
>> Fin_path
Fin_path = C:\Users\user\Documents\Octave\Test\TEST玉②\

Therefore cd(Fin_path) fails with
cd(Fin_path)
error: C:\Users\user\Documents\Octave\Test\TEST玉②\: No such file
or directory

The same is for CSVREAD
csvread([Fin_path,Fin_name])
error: dlmread: unable to open file
'C:\Users\user\Documents\Octave\Test\TEST玉②\ＴＥＳＴテストâ‘
.csv'
error: called from
    csvread at line 39 column 5
