Does fread() support UTF-8? I got a text file that is mostly Latin-1
characters but encoded as UTF-8. When I load the data, the first column name
has a few extra characters in the beginning ("id"), but I do not get this
when I convert the same file to ANSI format using Windows Notepad.
I am guessing that UTF-8 encoding puts a few extra characters in the beginning
of the text file to indicate that it is an UTF-8 encoding, and fread() is
reading that literally as the first column name.
Thanks for the clarification.

Harish
