I pasted it into Emacs ESS on Macintosh, Emacs ESS on Windows, and Rgui on Windows.
All 4.0.0 .  It runs fine.

I test the code using ESS on Windows. It also give error, but with different position:

Error: invalid multibyte character in parser at line 4

Is it related with locale?

    The (excellent) MWE that you provided runs just fine for me (in R 4.0.0
    under Ubuntu 18.04) either by sourcing "aaa.R" or by using
    copy-and-paste.

    Must be Windoze thing.  Switch to Linux!
