Latin 1 characters are handled correctly by many R functions, but print()
behaves unpredictably in this respect. Using ten Icelandic characters as
an example:
ICE <- c("Á", "Ð", "É", "Í", "Ó", "Ú", "Ý", "Þ", "Æ", "Ö")
# or, in case of browser problems
ICE <- c("\301", "\320", "\311", "\315", "\323",
"\332", "\335", "\336", "\306", "\326")
ice <- tolower(ICE)
cat(ICE, "\n") # correct
cat(ice, "\n") # correct
ICE # some octal codes
ice # some octal codes
data.frame(ICE, ice) # some octal codes
It would be preferable if the characters in that last data frame were
human-readable. This bug was not present in R 1.9.0.
