loading
to R-project Object and again I checked for
coloumn names then its giving like

 "ï..FILEID"       "UNIQUEID"        "LATESTFLG"  
"ACTIVEFLG"
  "PROJROLEID"      "IDENTIFIER"     
"TREATMTSTDATE"   "TITLE"
  "SOURCE"          "PLANSUB"         "STENDDATE" 
"STSTARTDATE"
"NOOFGROUPS"      "SLOTNO"          "PREPPERIOD"  
"STREPORTDATE"
"COMPLETIONDATE"  "ARCHIVEDATE"     "HOUSINGNAME" 
"NOOFGEN"
"NOOFANIMALS"     "SPECIES"         "SPDID"       
"STRAIN"
"STDID"           "STUDYTYPE"       "SDID"        
"DOSETYPE"
"DOSDID"          "SEXPARTICIPANTS" "SOPDID"      
"X"

here the problem is while loading for the first coloumn name R-project
adding  special charecters like  "ï.."

can any one help me how to read these "UTF-8" files with out these 
extra
charectors

thanks in advance
