Using this in my "~/.profile":
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
Yields this:
$ Rscript -e 'print(9)'
During startup - Warning message:
Setting LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 failed
[1] 9
This is confusing as the exact same environment works fine with other
languages:
$ python3 -c 'print(9)'
9
$ ruby -e 'puts 9'
9

He could try the Cygwin build, but I think it has other problems, and isn't supported by R Core. As far as I know there is no Windows locale that fully supports UTF-8. Duncan Murdoch
