Dear all,
Here is an answer I found.
```
library(stringi)
src <- readBin("orglist-100.CSV", "raw", file.info("orglist-100.CSV")$size)
src2 <- stri_encode(src, "UTF-16LE", "UTF-8")
con <- textConnection(src2)
answer <- read.table(con, header = TRUE, sep = ",")
```
Hope it will help someone in the future.
