Display unicode in R

Question

I have some unicode character that is stored as "<U+9577><U+6D32>". Is it possible to convert it into "\u9577\u6D32"?

Thanks!

You could use

as.character(parse(text=shQuote(gsub("<U\\+([A-Z0-9]+)>", "\\\\u\\1", "<U+9577><U+6D32>"))))

What if I have a column of such kind of unicode characters? – pe-perry Nov 23 '15 at 08:51
Pass the column instead of `""`. – lukeA Nov 23 '15 at 08:55
