R devel - Aug 2023 - R-4.3 version list.files function could not work correctly in chinese

Dear ???,

Thank you for your message, but please follow the posting guide in your
future messages: https://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html

I understand from your link that list.files() ends up skipping some
Chinese filenames in R-4.3.1 (but not R-4.2.2) on Windows, but would you
(or perhaps Yihui Xie who I see is also participating in the discussion)
mind translating the rest of your findings into English? Have you been
able to narrow down the problem to certain character ranges, for
example?

Yes, I participated in the discussion. Basically dir() failed to list all
files since R 4.3.0 when filenames start with Chinese characters. I don't
have a Windows machine to test it, but this might be a minimal reproducible
example:

file.create("????.R")
dir()

The OP said dir() would return "????.R" in R.4.2.2 but not in R 4.3.0.
In
the same discussion another person mentioned that the problem could also be
related to the file encoding, i.e., if the file content is encoded in
UTF-8, it could be recognized by dir(), but not in ANSI.

Regards,
Yihui
