I am trying to make a data frame including two vectors. The first vector is a vector of Persian names, and the second vector is a vector of numbers. My code is as follows: A<-data.frame(x=c("????","?????"),y=c(1,1)) A But when I run these codes I do not receive my desired output. Indeed the column of x is not in Persian. The output is like this: x y1 <U+0645><U+0631><U+06CC><U+0645> 12 <U+0645><U+0627><U+0631><U+06CC><U+0627> 1 I want to have the column of x in *Persian language*. Could you please help me how I can do it? (I should say when I make a vector of Persian names and I run it, I receive the correct output in Persian, like below: x=c("????","?????") x[1] "????" "?????" But in regard to the data frame I have the above problem) [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Otherwise R tries to express strings in the local encoding, finds that won't work, and shows Unicode escapes instead. For decades Windows had no UTF-8 locale, so your only choice was to move to a different OS. There are rumours now that it finally has one, but I don't know how to enable it, and I'm not certain that R will handle it properly: you may need a very recent version (perhaps unreleased) for R not to automatically assume that Windows can't do it.

Here is a similar problem from 9 years ago where Unicode characters were displayed as escapes on Windows with US English (ANSI-1251) locale when data.frame() converted strings to factors: https://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/gsub-with-unicode-and-escape-character-td3672737.html -- Best regards, Ivan P.S.> [[alternative HTML version deleted]]Please post in plain text, not HTML.
