Thanks for the link and the explanation of why the bug exists.

For future readers searching for a solution to this, you can get
correct printing by setting the CTYPE part of the locale to
Chinese/Japanese/Korean.
Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE", "Chinese")
## [1] "Chinese (Simplified)_People's Republic of China.936"
d
## x
## 1 A ∪ B ∩ C
