Simulink signals can only be numeric or buses (structures) comprising numeric types. Character data types are not allowed. Perhaps you could try representing your text in ASCII or some other binary form.

Yeah I agreed, but how would like convert the Character input to ASCII in simulink

[Kaustubha Govind]

You can perform the conversion in MATLAB and then import the converted array into Simulink. Use double(str) to convert a string variable 'str' to its ASCII equivalent. For example, drag a Constant block into a model and then enter double('Harris is good boy') as the Value. Note that most Simulink blocks required a fixed-signal signal, so the length of the string should be constant.

Thank you for your help , I got it

As of R2018a, strings are now supported.
