ggplot(data=NULL,aes(x=1,y=1))+
geom_text(size=10,label="ক্ত", family="Kohinoor Bangla")
On my machine, the Bengali conjunct cluster "ক্ত" is rendered as its constituents plus a virana:
I have tried several different fonts to no avail. Is there a trick to making conjuncts render correctly?
EDIT:
Explicitly using the unicode still doesn't not render correctly:
This renders correctly for me:
print(stringi::stri_enc_toutf8("\u0995\u09cd\u09a4"))
This still gives me the exact same result as before
ggplot(data=NULL,aes(x=1,y=1))+
geom_text(size=10,label="\u0995\u09cd\u09a4", family="Kohinoor Bangla")
Why is there a difference between the console output and ggplot output?
I'm not familiar with the Bengali language, but if you would look up the unicode characters for the text that you want to render, you could simply use those in geom_text()
# According to unicode code chart, these are some Bengali characters
# U+099x4
# U+09Ex3
ggplot(data=NULL,aes(x=1,y=1))+
# Substitute 'U+' by '\u', leave the 'x' out
geom_text(size = 10, label = "\u0994\u09E3")
Substitute the unicode characters as you see fit.
Hope that helped!
EDIT: I tried your last piece of code, which gave me a warning about the font not being installed. So I ran it without the family = "Kohinoor Bangla":
ggplot(data=NULL,aes(x=1,y=1))+
geom_text(size=10,label="\u0995\u09cd\u09a4")
Which gave me the following output:
From a visual comparison with the character that you posted, it looks quite similar. Next, I ran the same piece of code on my work computer, which gave me the following output:
The difference between work and home, is that work runs on a linux, while home runs on windows, work has R 3.4.4, home has R 3.5.3. Both are in RStudio, both are ggplot 3.2.0. I can't update R on work because of backwards compatibility issues, to check wether the version of R might be the problem. However, you could check wether your version of R is older than 3.5.3 and see if updating relieves the problem. Otherwise, I would guess it is a platform issue.

I am having problems with printing unicode characters in R. Initially the problems started with me trying to plot some custom labels with ggplot, but I have found out that this problem runs deeper.
For example, the letter đ is represented with unicode code U+0100. This means that if I type
"\u0100"
in the console, I should get đ printed as output, right? However, this is not what happens. Instead, as the output I get:
<U+0100>
I don't understand why this is happening since my encoding is set to UTF-8. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this?
I tried using the following function:
stri_escape_unicode("<U+0100>")
but I just get the same output as before. Any help would be appreciated! I am using Macbook Pro from 2013.
Since a couple of days I get the following error message in RStudio from time to time and can't figure out what is causing it.
When I write in the console window to address a data.frame followed by $ to address a specific column in the data.frame (for example df$SomeVariable), the following message is shown in the console window and is printed over an over with every letter I type
Error in gsub(reStrip, "", completions, perl = TRUE) :
input string 38 is invalid UTF-8
The error message doesn't have any real effect. Everything works just fine except the automatic completion of the variable name.
I'm using R version 3.4.4 and RStudio Version 1.0.143 on a Windows computer. In the R script I am currently working on I don't use gsub or any other "string" or regular expression function for that matter. The issue appeared with various data.frames and various types of variables in the data.frames (numeric, integer, date, factor, etc.). It also happens with various packages. Currently, I am using combinations of the packages readr, dplyr, plm, lfe, readstata13, infuser, and RPostgres. The issue disappears for a while after closing RStudio and opening it again but re-appears after working for a while.
Does anyone have an idea what may cause this and how to fix it?
I used to have the same problem a few days ago. I made some research and i found that when you import the dataset, you can change the encoding. Change the encoding to "latin1" and maybe that could fix your problem. Sorry for my poor english, im from Southamerica. Hope it works.
On some computers, the following code used in conjunction with the packages siar and SIBER does not render the delta and/or permil symbol correctly in the axes labels. Instead, either a blank axis label, or text such as "\u2030" is rendered in its place.
plot(0,xlab = expression(paste(delta^13,"C (\u2030)")))
One often encountered problem is that your computer's region settings (i.e. your operating system, not the applications R or Rstudio) is set to use a non-UTF8 character set. If you type
Sys.setlocale()
in the R command window, you should see something like
"en_IE.UTF-8/en_IE.UTF-8/en_IE.UTF-8/C/en_IE.UTF-8/en_IE.UTF-8"
which for me means I'm using UTF-8 in english with Irish region settings.
If you don't see UTF-8 then the \u2030 and other character codes won't work
I ran into a very weird problem: my R code for generating a plot only works if I type it into the console but not when I ran it inside the script (with Ctrl+Enter command)... It's the same problem with all plots (regular plots or ggplots). Also I tried it on two different computers and the same thing happened. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
One possible reason: I installed the newest version of Rstudio on both computers so it might be an issue with the version. The exact same code worked before on an older version of rstudio...Could this be it? If so, how can I fix it?
I think I figured out what the problem was: the setting in the new version of Rstudio has a default option of outputting the plots inside the Rmarkdown script (at the very end of the script). And that's why I wasn't seeing them. You could change the setting such that it outputs in the console.
Try dev.off() to reset the graphics device.
This helps with a lot of weird graphics behaviour.
Probably too late for the original poster... However, I just ran into the same problem after installing an R update. The way I fixed it was to go to preferences, R markdown, and turn off "show inline output". For me, it was just coming out at the bottom of the chunk instead of in the plot window like I wanted. Hope that helps someone!
I just ran into this problem. I mistakenly put my plot() command inside the r markdown setup chunk. I moved it to its own code chunk and it ran as expected.
When I use non-standard letters, the Rstudio view function tends to use a different encoding than print. If you run the following code you will see the difference. I've tried setting all possible encodings, but View keeps displaying them wrongly. Any solutions?
x <- data.frame(test=c('a','b','c','d','é'))
View(x)
print(x)
I will upload an image as soon as I have more reputation.
This issue is solved in the newest version of Rstudio (1.0.136).
