Is it possible to enter a unicode string and get the corresponding character using R on OS X? For example, points(x, y, pch="\u2642") is alleged to plot the male symbol (available on my system in several fonts) at points x and y , but what I get in R is "u2642". I can enter the hex string and get the character in Illustrator, but have not figured it out in R. Thanks for any advice.
