Please guide -- UTF-8 locale setting fails on Windows on writing
Le lundi 28 mars 2016 ? 19:16 +0530, Sunny Singha a ?crit?:
Hi,
I think I'm experiencing an issue regarding system Locale. I have
exported '.csv' formatted data frames gathered from various social
media platforms like facebook/twitter/G+, etc.
I observe many variable/columns consists of strings formatted similar to below:
"
"
As expected and I confirmed, in social media data, they are strings in
different languages.
Platform details are provide in the end of this mail. OS locale is set
to English (United States) hence 'R' locale is 'English_United
States.1252'
I have attempted to change it to UTF-8 but receives below warning message:
Warning message:
In Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL", "UTF-8") :
? OS reports request to set locale to "UTF-8" cannot be honored
You don't need to set the locale. Just pass an appropriate value (e.g. "UTF-8") to read.csv() or write.csv()'s fileEncoding argument. You also didn't tell us what program you used to read these files. Some might guess the encoding incorrectly, or require you to choose it manually. Regards
I have gone through below forums but no resolution so far: --- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20571147/how-to-set-unicode-locale-in-r --- https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2013-November/067940.html --- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19877676/write-utf-8-files-from-r --- https://tomizonor.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/file-utf8-windows/ --- http://withr.me/configure-character-encoding-for-r-under-linux-and-windows/ I'm not sure whether the issue is while reading/extracting the data from media or while writing/exporting in Windows directory, but I don't experience similar issue in my personal Mac machine. I need some clarification here. How could I export the data just as I see on web ???Please guide.
