Dear Duncan,
thanks for your feedback on this. Even though most developers are not in
Windows (which I doubt it),
I'm talking about the R Core developers. I used to be one, but have
retired from that role.
there are a huge number of people who use R
on Windows and I am one of them who seriously work with R.
Indeed, Microsoft promotes R, and they have a lot of developers; they
just don't contribute much to R. Honestly I'd suggest that if you are
serious about working with languages not supported in the default code
page, you should switch platforms.
Following my
own workaround to this bug, now I hit another issue with another
workaround when trying to render the Farsi Unicode characters. While
these workarounds work in ad hoc, they are not appealing in all
scenarios;I hit other problems related to this bug, e.g., when
documenting a package with Roxygen2 package.
Please see the attached files (r scripts) for the complete bug report.
If you think this is a new bug, you should report it to the bug tracking
system (which requires you to be registered first). Posting it to me or
to R-help will probably not result in any action on it. Posting it to
the bug page will at least result in a fairly permanent record.
Duncan Murdoch
thanks

that's right and I don't want to change my locale. my
sessionInfo() :
I think it could be another manifestation of a known bug on Windows,
where strings are converted from UTF-8 to the current locale and
back to UTF-8, a lossy conversion. This has been present for many
years, and requires a lot of internal changes to fix, so I wouldn't
hold your breath waiting for a fix.
I believe the "right" fix is for R to always convert strings to
UTF-8 internally. This wasn't possible when the
internationalization code was added many years ago because not all
platforms supported UTF-8. It would be a lot of work now, and since
it isn't needed now on the platforms most developers use, it's not
receiving a lot of attention.
Your workaround
file(script,
encoding = "UTF-8") %T>%
source() %>%
close() # works fine
is a nice way to avoid this problem.

It was actually a .rmd file so you can get the coloring
of the
bug report
in your text editor. I changed the format to .txt.
When I run your script on a Mac (in a UTF-8 locale), all
lines work
as expected. I'm guessing you are working on Windows, in a
non-UTF-8 locale?
Posting sessionInfo() would be helpful.
