R, Windows and foreign language characters
问题 This has been a longstanding problem with R: it can read non-latin characters on Unix, but I cannot read them on Windows . I've reproduced this program on several English-edition Windows machines over the years. I've tried changing the localisation settings in Windows and numerous other to no effect. Has anyone actually been able to read a foreign text file on Windows? I think being able to read/write/display unicode is a pretty nifty feature for a program. Environment: > Sys.getlocale() [1]
