I am trying to insert some Unicode string to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 from R Studio, but it does not work.
For example, "綫" , "Араб" , "❤" ...
And, here is my code:
library("RODBC")
sdb <- odbcConnect("R_SQLServ", uid="uid", pwd="pwd")
sqlQuery(sdb,"insert into test(someWord) VALUES(N'❤')")
odbcClose(sdb)
However, the value displayed on SQL database table is :
someWord
<U+2764>
Settings, background, or something I have tried and tested are as below:

The data type of the column was set to nvarchar(MAX).
In the R console, all of the characters are displayed correctly, but on the right side of R Studio panel with all my variables at the Environment tab, the variable that stored "❤" is displayed as "<U+2764>"
It works when I execute the SQL command INSERT INTO test (someWord) VALUES (N'❤') in SQL Server Management Studio.
I have tried resetting the locale setting on R Studio as different languages, either the same as my system language or not.

To avoid problems when using R and RStudio, can R be configured to work with utf-8 by default? My system is windows 10 64 bit, R scripts are saved as ANSI, however when opening those same files with RStudio there are problems with the Latin characters, ñ, tildes, euro symbol €. I have to convert the files to change the character encoding, so that I can use them with RStudio.
From the R console:

How to add degree symbol using roxygen2 for R documentation?

To add any non-ASCII characters in R documentation using roxygen2, the encoding must be declared using the tag #encoding.
So when °C is used in the roxygen code, adding the tag #encoding UTF-8 will render it correctly for html as well as pdf.
This can be checked with
path <- "path to Rd file"
tools::checkRd(path)
I am using R 3.2.2 and RStudio 0.99.486 (latest version) under Windows 7 SP1 64 bit. I always get an error when I start RStudio:
the procedure entry point vsnprintf could not be
located in the dynamic link library R.dll
But I don't get any errors when I directly start R 3.2.2.
The R installed into C:/ProgramFiles/R/R-3.2.2/ (not the default path) and don't have other versions of R. RStudio is setup to use the installed R.
Except I get an error in RStudio, all my R codes can run in RGUI and RStudio.
Thanks for any suggestions to solve this annoying problem.

What am I missing here, it works on another PC. From R Im trying to use Sys.setenv() to invoke ghost script. Then, normally I can use tools::find_gs_cmd() to check that it is set.
Heres the ghostscript exe:
> dir("C:/Program Files/gs/gs9.16/bin/")
[1] "gsdll64.dll" "gsdll64.lib" "gswin64.exe" "gswin64c.exe"
But when I try to set it I think it does NOT do it:
> Sys.setenv(R_GSCMD="C:/Program Files/gs/gs9.16/bin/gswin64c.exe")
> tools::find_gs_cmd("gswin64c.exe")
gswin64c.exe
""
If I use Sys.getenv() it is there on the list of environment variable all right, so Im a little unsure what is happening.
