R rstudio view encoding different than print - r

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).

Is there a way to disable autocorrect in RStudio when saving plots?

I am trying to figure out how to prevent RStudio from autocorrecting and autocapitalizing file names when manually saving plots as images (plots > export > save as image > ) When I type the intended filename, RStudio almost always autocompletes the text or capitalizes the first letter, which I find extremely annoying.
The "Spelling" option in Preferences doesn't provide a way to disable this feature. I've looked through the rest of the Preferences options and have searched Stack Exchange to no avail.
I am using R version 3.6.3. and RStudio version 1.1.456. Thanks in advance!

Bengali conjuncts not rendering in ggplot

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.

Problems with unicode in R

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.

r plot shows up only when I type in console but not in script

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.

invalid multibyte character crashes when script is loaded from source (umlauts / special characters)

EDIT:
Thx to suggestions from the mailing list I realized that the problem I got has nothing to do with Sweave or Latex. It´s some Mac OS X related issue. Whenever I run my script by selecting all and sending it to R it works.
When I use
source("myplainRcode.R")
i get the error message stated below
finally I got sweave working together with ggplot2 on my Mac OS X. I invoke Sweave inside R with
Sweave("myfile.Rnw")
which creates the desired latex output. Now that the basic tests work, I try to source my real world file and it crashes at the following line:
gl_bybranch = ddply(new_wans,.(period,Branchen),
function(X)data.frame(Geschäftslage=mean(X$sentiment)))
I guess it has either to do with the ".(period...)" or the "ä" . Unfortunately I can't change these labels because they are also used in legends. So, somewhere in my code these ugly umlauts will appear. Is there a way to escape them in Sweave? I can't believe that this is problem since Sweave is written by a German who probably have second most umlaut characters (behind Turkey).
The error message I get is: invalid multibyte character in Parser on line 195
Thx for any ideas in advance!
YAY ! i got it. Sorry for the noise everybody. I switched all three files (.Rnw, mysource.R , invokeSweave.R) to UTF-8 it finally worked. So everybody who works with Komodo on a Mac make sure to change your default encoding to UTF-8 !
