to put it simply. Windows cannot handle utf-8 data. There is no utf-8 locale available.

Code page 65001 is utf-8.  Most text editors (including Notepad)
include an option to save in the UTF-8 encoding.

Some programs don't fully support utf-8 (some don't even support the
native UCS-2), but most don't care.  That's the nice thing about utf-8.

So in what sense can Windows not handle utf-8 data?

Of course, you're right. I only meant in that context R for Windows, not Windows at all. Sorry for my incorrectness.
