Subject: Add encoded special characters (greek characters) as text to plot

Dear all,
I read my a character matrix from a text file. Some of them
have greek characters. To reserve the special characters, I
used stringsAsFactors=F using read.table. I notice that I
can’t print these character string using print(), but I
can use cat():
> print("LC\246\302")
[1] "LC\246\302"
> cat("LC\246\302\n")
LCβ
The problem is when I add text to my output plot like:
text(x,y, labels="LC\246\302")
I got "LC.. " on my plot. Obviously text function doesn’t
know what’s "\246\302". I google that encoding, and
can’t find exact what that is. It doesn’t look like
ascii or Unicode. Anybody knows what that is?
Note that I can’t use expression() method to pass these
special characters because these are read from a text file,
I just can’t include greek characters manually that way.
Is there a way that I can output these strings with special
characters automatically?
Thank you!
Heyi
