[R] special symobol / character

[Eric Lecoutre]

Hi Matthew,

Most systems allow to enter any ASCII (or extended ASCII) character 
directly using a key combination.
Accessing ANSI charcaters under Windows is possible with:
ALT+0xxx (press ALT, hold it down, press 0 and the number of the character, 
release ALT)
Thus: ALT+0137 makes: ‰
The future seems promising with the Unicode support: kudo R core team!
