You didn't tell us your R version (or your locale). Windows has no UTF-8
locales, so a lot of work has had to be done to allow Unicode chars to be
handled on Windows.
Please look into 2.7.0 RC, and in particular its CHANGES file at
https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-2-7-branch/src/gnuwin32/CHANGES

Dear all,
is it possible to set up RGUI or JGR on Windows PC to UTF-8 encoding?
I looked for it in mailing lists and in the documentation, but I
couldn't figure out it.
My problem is e.g. to split a given string containing German and
Russian words into characters.
example:
> a <- "asdШas"
> strsplit(a,NULL)
[[1]]
[1] "a" "s" "d" "Ш" "a" "s"
works on each Mac or Linux computer, but I didn't find a way for
Windows.
I tried to set options(encoding) to UTF-8, I tried to use the Perl
mode in strsplit, but I had no success. At least by using JGR I was
able to type Russian and see my text correctly but strsplit failed.
I set RGUI to a Unicode font, no success.
I tried to save a script file in UTF-8 or UTF-16 and I tried to run
source(FILE, encoding="***"), no success.
Is there really no way to use a Windows PC and R to work with Unicode
texts?
Many thanks in advance for each hint,
--Hans
