This is confusing as the exact same environment works fine with other
languages:

    $ python3 -c 'print(9)'
    9

    $ ruby -e 'puts 9'
    9

The locale is probably not available on your system, please
install/generate it.

I think Steven is running the Windows build, not a POSIX build, so that's not a legal value. He could try the Cygwin build, but I think it has other problems, and isn't supported by R Core. As far as I know there is no Windows locale that fully supports UTF-8.
