URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/39273
### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages,
version, and platform.
``` r
library(arrow)
#>
#> Attaching package: 'arrow'
#> The following object is masked from 'package:utils':
#>
#> timestamp
df <- tibble::tibble(x = c("hi", "I'm", "a", "string"))
arrow_table(df)
#> Table
#> 4 rows x 1 columns
#> $x <string>
arrow_table(df, schema = schema(x = dictionary()))
#> Error: Invalid: invalid R type to convert to dictionary
```
It works if I call `as.factor` on the character column when it's being
created; perhaps we can just pop an `as.factor()` in if the input type is a
character rather than a factor?
### Component(s)
