How to adjust encoding to read accent marks properly in R

Question

I am using read_labelled_csv from expss package to read a labelled csv in R.

data1<-expss::read_labelled_csv("C:/Users/User/Desktop/Data/Example.csv")

I have a problem reading the labels that has accents. The label looks like this: caf˳ and it has to look this way: café.

How can I adjust the encoding to read properly the accents or how can I write it and which encoding should I use?

Answer 1

I had the same problem. try to add encoding="UTF-8"

data1<-expss::read_labelled_csv("C:/Users/User/Desktop/Data/Example.csv", encoding="UTF-8")

Another solution is to use the old functions

old_write_labelled_csv (data1,filename = "C:/Users/User/Desktop/Data/Example.csv")

data1<- old_read_labelled_csv ("C:/Users/User/Desktop/Data/Example.csv",encoding="UTF-8")
