I think it could be very useful the possibility to specify the
encoding, as when you use the function 'file' with read.table .

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
