[Rd] How to get utf8 string using R externals

[David Winsemius]

First; you should configure yopu mail client to send plain text.

Can you explain what is meant by:

the characters are unicodes (<U+BD80><U+C2E4>) instead of
utf8 encoding of the korean characters 부실.

As far as I can tell those two unicodes _are_ the utf8 encodings of 부실.

You may need to consult a couple of R help pages. I suggest:

?Quotes
?points   # has examples of changing fonts used for display on console.

Sorry if I've misunderstood. I'm not on a Windows device, so  posting the C++ program won't be helpful, but maybe it would for other prospective respondents.
