The issue was reported to me for https://github.com/randy3k/rtichoke/issues/50 which is a python program which embeds R and provides a interface to R.
With R 3.5, for reason which i don't understand, when I typed `"a"` in the console STDOUT got `"\x02\xff\xfea\x03\xff\xfe"` with the extra escaped characters. I notice that `\x02\xff\xfe` and `\x03\xff\xfe` are encoding related byte marks. A clear solution is to filter the escaped characters, but I want to understand what changes are causing it happens. It didn’t happen for R 3.4. Randy [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
