I am having issues with display and entry of accent marks, for example e with accent aigu ? For example when R starts up I see ?? instead of ?

Do I need to tell emacs to use a particular character encoding for the ESS buffer? How? I expected this should "just work" (display the right character ?) More problematic, when I try to enter ? in the *R* buffer, it freezes/hangs the whole emacs window. C-g does not help/cancel, only way to get out is to tell windows to kill emacs. Any ideas? Below is the environment from my eshell, if that helps. Thanks in advance!

This seems to be an issue only on windows, as I can not reproduce them on linux/ubuntu.
