This is one of those problems heavily affected by your version of R
(does it have stringsAsFactors = TRUE or FALSE by default?), your
operating system and locale (see [*] for a description of
Unicode-related problems in R on Windows).

Here is a similar problem from 9 years ago where Unicode characters
were displayed as escapes on Windows with US English (ANSI-1251)
locale when data.frame() converted strings to factors:
