Thank you very much for the hint. I tried it on a FreeBSD machine with
locale set to en_US.UTF-8, it works fine.
However, on my Windows machine,
> Sys.getlocale()
[1] "LC_COLLATE=Chinese (Simplified)_China.936;LC_CTYPE=Chinese
(Simplified)_China.936;LC_MONETARY=Chinese
(Simplified)_China.936;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=Chinese (Simplified)_China.936"
It just worked as what I posted.
BTW, I can not understand why a string could be displayed different as
vector or as data frame.
Best,

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.

Hi there,
Why the same string is displayed in different form?

[1] "Åland" "Afghanistan"

And more...

1 <c5>land
2 Afghanistan

[1] "<c5>land" "Afghanistan"
