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.
But I think with Brian Ripley's work over the last while, R for Windows
actually handles utf-8 pretty well. (It might not guess at that
encoding, but if you tell it that's what you're using...)
