Dear R-users, Last week I installed R 3.5.2 on a new MacBook Air. I got error messages for the wrong locale (character set). And simple math proved not to work: Upon typing this, I got:
2?2
Error: unexpected input in "2?"
The character visible as a caret is apparently coded as something very different. Then I changed things according to the FAQ, chapter 7, (switching all settings to English), and executed the recommended line: defaults write org.R-project.R force.LANG en_US.UTF-8 The error messages disappeared, but the problem remained. A fresh install of R 3.5.2 also didn't help: Here its startup messages, then a line testing the caret:

2?2

Does anyone know how to get R (R.app) to interpret a caret as a caret? Thanks in advance, Franklin Bretschneider Utrecht University Utrecht, The Netherlands
