Hi
It seems that R silently assumes that symbols are encoded in the native encoding. However, no attempt to reencode is made in Rf_installChar(), which is called by Symbol::Symbol(SEXP) in the CHARSXP case. I wonder if Rcpp should be calling Rf_install(Rf_translateChar(x)) instead, to ensure proper encoding.
Unfortunately, the better and faster Rf_installTrChar() isn't (yet) part of the API.
