Most probably, this means that the FILE is UCS-2LE-encoded (or maybe
UTF-16). Unlike UTF-8, text encoded using UCS-2LE may contain NUL bytes
if the code points in question are U+00FF and below. You should decode
it before processing it in R; one of the examples in ?readLines shows
how to do it:
# read a 'Windows Unicode' file
A <- readLines(con <- file("Unicode.txt", encoding = "UCS-2LE"))
close(con)

Try encodeString combined with cat or message.
