Hello, I am working with a data frame containg character strings with many special symbols from various European languages. When writing such character strings to a file using the UTF-8 encoding, some of them are converted in a strange way. See the following example, run in R 2.12.1 on Windows 7:
out <- file( description="out.txt", open="w", encoding="UTF-8") write( x="äöüßæűŁ", file=out ) close( con=out ) The last two symbols in the character string are converted to "uL" while all other characters are not changed (which is what I want). How to explain this? Does it have something to do with my locale? And is there a way to work around this problem? -- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
