There is a problem with the write.table
. chr2
is correctly shown in the console but fail in the saved txt file.
> chr1 = chr2 = rep(NA, 8)
> for(i in 1:8){
+ chr1[i] = letters[i]
+ chr2[i] = intToUtf8(10240+2^(i-1))
+ }
>
> chr1
[1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h"
> chr2
[1] "⠁" "⠂" "⠄" "⠈" "⠐" "⠠" "⡀" "⢀"
>
write.table(cbind(chr1, chr2), file = "chr2.txt")
May I know how to get the txt file printing exactly the same way as the console? Thank you!

I have uploaded my code and the example picture to GitHub:

Please have a look.
Unfortunately, coercing the two vectors to a data.frame to write it as a table already converts the characters to unicode references. You can see that when you use data.frame(chr1,chr2)
.
I frankly do not know how to write unicode symbols to tables, but if you are able to compose lines of a file (concatenate the values with '\t'
), you can write them using writeLines()
to a file with native encoding:
f = file("specialchar.txt",open="w",encoding="native.enc")
writeLines(paste(chr1,chr2,sep='\t'),con=f, useBytes=T)
close(f)
When I do this, I get the following result:
