[R] write.csv covert Åland to <c5>land

[John Kane]

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.
