I am trying to save a dataframe into a csv file. The dataframe contains umlauts, which I want to keep.
I tried exporting with
write.csv2(x, fileEncoding = "UTF-8")
as well as
readr::write_csv2(x)
in both cases, the umlauts do not get exported correctly. Instead of ä weird symbols occur: ä . My R is set to save files as UTF-8 as well. Is there something else I can try?

I am trying to read a csv file in R but when I run read_csv(), I get this weird paint-like symbol for some rows, even though it is displayed correctly in the raw csv file. I have tried reading it through read.csv() and also converting the file to excel and reading it through read_xlsx() but I get the same weird symbol. I am guessing it has something to do with the encoding but I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
I have text that contains Unicode.
Export this text to CSV.
I don't want to see Unicode in CSV files created in R.
This is the Unicode in question.
<U+00A0>
This unicode will appear blank when exported to an xlsx file.
However, when exporting as csv, it comes out as Unicode. It looks like <U+00A0> in the csv file.
How can solve this problem. and I want to know it is possible.
I tried changing the encoding option of the write.table function.
I tried using the iconv function.
But it was not resolved.
I work on a mac and I'm currently working with a large csv file (german language) that I import to R. Encoding for ä, ö, ü, and ß is fine in that CSV file. When I import it, however, things get messy for those letters.
ü becomes <c3><bc>,
ä becomes <c3><a4>
....
I tried to apply UTF-8 when importing: df <- read.csv("file.csv", sep=";", encoding = "UTF-8")Still it looks the same. Standard encoding is also set to UTF-8.
Does anyone have an idea?
Go to the CSV and use the save as function of Excel to transform it. Save the file as CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited) (it is called CSV UTF-8 (durch Trennzeichen getrennt) in German). Import this file with readr::read_csv('newfile.csv').
I want to export the data.frame with character vector in Chinese.
I have tried to output it into text file, it works perfectly with the following code
Sys.setlocale(category = "LC_ALL", locale = "zh_cn.utf-8")
data<-data.frame(ID=c('小李','小王','小宗'),number=c(1:3))
write.table(data,'test.txt',quote=F,row.names=F,sep='\t')
But when I tried to use the write.csv, if I use excel to open the data file, the Chinese part of the data is not correct for the output test.csv, see the figure below for details.
write.csv(data,'test.csv',row.names=F)
I have found a similar post on stackoverflow, but failed to figure out how to cope with my case. How to export a csv in utf-8 format?.
Is there any solution that can output the data file that is compatible with excel?
I have one unicode (UTF-8) file with column delimiter as 'þ', I'm trying to read it using R csv reader as follows
data <- read.csv(file_name,,sep="þ",encoding="UTF-8")
in my data frame I'm getting everything in a single column, can someone correct me what I'm doing wrong here?
I think your script needs to be encoded as utf-8 too if you're using non-ascii characters.
Save your code in for example myfile.r and then
Try this:
source("myfile.r", encoding="utf-8")
hopefully your error will go away
