It looks like an encoding problem. It works fine for me with R encoding set to UTF-8
Here is part of my sessionInfo() results [1] LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_NUMERIC=C [3] LC_TIME=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_COLLATE=en_CA.UTF-8 [5] LC_MONETARY=en_CA.UTF-8 LC_MESSAGES=en_CA.UTF-8 I would suggest issuing the command sessionInfo() and seeing what your encoding is.
