How can I convert text to ASCII?

I was trying to read sensor data on my smartphone using MATLAB and I downloaded udp sensor. Using udpport and readline command I could read the data I guess but I am not sure if it is the data because I can't understand the output. So how can I convert it to something I can understand?

My code;

u2 = udpport("LocalPort",8080,"EnablePortSharing",true)
data = readline(u2)

The output;

'¼š€=€¾M‹ =Q¥ø¿,]¿==i½h¯½-ÉüBŸ­ÊÂB¥@¿®f B( @  ¼š€=€¾M‹ =PúÆ¿,š¤¿<×=i½h¯½-ÉüBŸ­ÊÂB¥@¿®f B( @  ¼š€=€¾M‹ =["п-€¿;ù{=i½h¯½-ÉüBŸ­ÊÂB¥@¿®f B( @  ¼š€=€¾M‹ =Z­¿.kj¿;y>*z=äh=<4Bœn@ÂB¥@¿®f B( @  ¼š€=€¾M‹ =V q¿.Í

Are you sure the data sent over this connection is actually text?

I actually could convert it by using text to ascii converter online, so I think it is text but I am not totally sure about it.

As I understand it, ASCII is a pretty basic encoding of text. It should already be recognizable. Or is this the 7 bit version? Then the conversion will be very tricky, but that would also have made the reading itself non-trivial.

If you find an online converter that does what you need you could post the link here and we could help you try to implement it in Matlab.

I have downloaded a sensor app which I can obtain the outputs as xml format and I can read the data now. Thank you so much for your concern...
