The documentation for the OutDec option says that it should be a
'one-character string'; yet, if I try a unicode character, it doesn't seem
to work. Are unicode chars not counted as one-character?
This is within the mac GUI, but I also see this on linux boxes.
> x <- '\u00B7'
> nchar(x)
[1] 1
> options(OutDec=x)
Error in options(OutDec = x) : invalid value for 'OutDec'
I don't think I've changed anything with my LANG settings, but here it
is anyway:
> Sys.getenv('LANG')
LANG
"en_GB.UTF-8"
