I work on Linux (openSUSE) in Chech language using same characters and I have 
no problem. R IMHO uses UTF-8 (default for Linux) which contains support for 
all European languages and when You use UTF-8 also for Your website (highly 
recommended), it should work. I have no problem to load file encoded with 
UTF-8. Well, in this way, it works for me. I see Your page with correct 
characters (the browser has autodetection of character set and the web page 
uses UTF-8).
