Dear R-Help,
I am using the RDF package/ R 2.14 with the RDF package to download data
from a website, and then use R to manipulate it.
Text on the website is UTF-8. The RDF package's rdf_load command is
converting it into a different encoding, which converts non-ASCII
characters to unicode codes.
On the webpage/sparql RDF: "4.5µg of cDNA was used"
In R, the RDF triple gives: "4.5\\u00B5g of cDNA was used"
I can't seem to convert it back from \\u00B5 into "µ".
I've tried iconv with various settings without success:
> iconv(test, "latin1", "UTF-8")
[1] "4.5\\u00B5g of cDNA was used"
And, I tried Encoding, to see if I could figure that out, but it returns
"unknown" on my string.
> Encoding(test)
[1] "unknown"
Anyone have any ideas on how to correct/convert the text encoding?
Thanks!
-Emily
