But the OP didn't mention RStudio, but rather RGui.

R has its own mechanisms for dealing with alternate character sets, so
be clear when the problem is in the processing of such code by R
versus the display of input or output files associated with your use
of R. Using R or RGui (that are on topic here) can help you discern
where the "problem" is.

Perhaps you can offer some advice in this regard, I've never been able
to figure it out. Ironically, that's one of the reasons I prefer to
use RStudio on Windows!

Best,
Ista
