[R] Unicode characters (R 2.7.0 on Windows XP SP3 and Hardy Heron)

[Hans-Jörg Bibiko]

Hi,

to put it simply. Windows cannot handle utf-8 data. There is no utf-8  
locale available.
If your corpus only contains Russian data, maybe English glosses etc.  
you can try to set lang of Rgui.exe to Russian.
Then at least you can use grep, strsplit because they are depending  
on the locales chosen.

Unfortunately I have to say this quite often :)
