Neal Richardson commented on ARROW-7018:
----------------------------------------
Hi [~vidaringa], to help us address the issue, could you please provide a
self-contained minimal code example that reproduces the issue, along with a
printout of your R {{sessionInfo()}}? These encoding issues are notoriously
difficult, so I want to be sure that we're seeing exactly what you're seeing.
Thanks!

> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug

> Environment: I'm running R on Windows 10
> Reporter: Vidar Ingason
> Priority: Major

> Hello.
> I'm new to the arrow package in R and I'm having a trouble regarding special
> characters (Icelandic). I have a large data set and everything is fine until
> I write the file to disk and read it in again (i.e. I use write_parquet() and
> then read_parquet()). When I read the data back in to R special characters
> turn into question mark. I.e. Veitingastaðir becomes Veitingasta�ir.
> This does not happen when I use .csv.
> Is there anything I can do when I write the .parquet file to disk or when I
> read it in to prevent this?
