Load data frame with spanish characters into RStudio on Windows 10
I have the following data frame (saved as .RData):
Matemáticas <- c(sample(70:100, 10, replace=TRUE))
Química <- c(sample(70:100, 10, replace=TRUE))
notas <- data.frame(Matemáticas,Química)
When loading it to the Global Environment on my Mac, I have no problems. However, when I try to do so in Windows 10 on a PC (RStudio version 3.3.3), the variable names appear as such:
QuÃmica
Matemáticas
I have tried the following things:
1. I have already set the default text encoding to UTF-8 in Tools->Global Options -> Code -> Saving -> Default text encoding.
2. I tried changing the locale, with the following:
Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL",Spanish)
Sys.setlocale("LC_CTYPE",Spanish)
This changed the locale, when I checked with
Sys.getlocale()
but the accents still appeared.
- I tried changing the encoding of the data frame itself with
Encoding(notas) <- "UTF-8"
This did not work because (I suspect) I have to do a sapply or something...
Most of the information I have found online is in reference to reading spanish characters when reading a csv file, but my file is in .RData already.
What I would like is for Windows to ALWAYS recognize spanish accents, as most of my work is in this language.

Can you try to save your df in a csv (on Windows) and then load it (on Mac)?

I could, but would prefer a solution with the .RData file...I need it to work on both computers as .RData because its part of a knitr file, so when compiling it I don't wan't an extra step.

I some cases (esp. OSX <10.10) Rstudio can show characters with wrong encoding, but it sometimes is merely a frontend issue. Can you check if your data is saved properly? (i.e. if it affects the underlying data)

But the characters appear ok on my mac, and everything runs smoothly. The problem is only on WIndows on a PC
