I have exported a CSV file from Qualtrics (survey with multiple columns) and I am importing it into R using read.csv.
When I open the raw CSV file, the fields are all legible in the way I would expect--such as this.
After reading “Sometimes, the Earth Cruel,”
However when I read it into R, it shows up like this--
"After reading “Sometimes, the Earth Cruel,â"
I know this has something to do when character encoding, but I don't know how to fix it. Please help!
It appears to work for me. I am on linux and I use UTF-8 encoding.
> x <- "After reading “Sometimes, the Earth Cruel,” "
> read.table(text = x, header = FALSE)
V1 V2 V3 V4 V5 V6
1 After reading “Sometimes, the Earth Cruel,”
> Sys.getlocale()
