perl -Mutf8 -MEncode=encode,decode -Mcharnames=:full \

# ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE
So the text seems to have been encoded in UTF-8, then decoded as
Latin-1. If you have multiple such artefacts and want to get rid of
them, try:
a <- readLines(con <- file("hangouts-conversation-6.csv.txt", encoding
= "UTF-8")); close(con); rm(con)
