Dear helpers,
I am not able to export Unicode characters from R. Below is an example
where the Unicode character is correctly rendered as long as I am stay
within R. When I export it, the character appears only with its basic
code, and the same happens when I import it back into R . I'm using R
2.13.1 in Windows XP.
> funny.g <- "\u1E21"
> funny.g
[1] "ḡ"
> data.frame (funny.g) -> funny.g
> funny.g$funny.g
[1] ḡ
Levels: <U+1E21>
> write.table (funny.g, file = "C:/~funny.g.txt", col.names = FALSE, row.names
> = FALSE, quote = FALSE, fileEncoding = "UTF-8")
> read.table ("C:/~funny.g.txt", header = FALSE, encoding = "UTF-8") ->
> input.funny.g
> input.funny.g$V1
[1] <U+1E21>
Levels: <U+1E21>
Best
Sverre
