[R] Weird R Studio behaviour...

[Stephen H. Dawson, DSL]

I disagree.

UTF-8 is far from new. The IDE cannot fail at the point of not handling 
a known technology without advancing the argument with further messaging.

What happens when you run the same code within R apart from the IDE?

What trace work have you accomplished with this special character in a 
separate test script?

It may be how Windows 10 is handling UTF-8 after the latest update of 
optional packages that Microsoft released last week. Run a test in CMD 
on UTF-8 and see what you discover.
