%    newname = decodevarname(name)
%
%    Decode a hex-encoded variable name (from encodevarname) and restore
%    its original form
%
%    This function is sensitive to the default charset
%    settings in MATLAB, please call feature('DefaultCharacterSet','utf8')
%    to set the encoding to UTF-8 before calling this function.

%    input:
%        name: a string output from encodevarname, which converts the leading non-ascii
%              letter into "x0xHH_" and non-ascii letters into "_0xHH_"
%              format, where hex key HH stores the ascii (or Unicode) value
%              of the character.
%
%    output:
%        newname: the restored original string
%
%    example:
%        decodevarname('x0x5F_a')   % returns _a
%        decodevarname('a_')   % returns a_ as it is a valid variable name
%        decodevarname('x0xE58F98__0xE9878F_')  % returns '变量'
