[R] all extended ASCII characters exist for R console output?

[Henrik Bengtsson]

Just to get the message through that some already tried, e.g. on
Windows 7 with R (Rterm) you get:

See it didn't even cut'n'paste the same visual symbols as I see in
Rterm but I guess you cannot see that.  Make sense?  No?   Point is,
expect issues if you're running this outside your own system/on
different setup.  (This has nothing to do with R).
