R File Encoding Issues: Causes & Solutions

  1. The file encoding doesn’t match: The encoding format of the file is not consistent with the one specified when reading the file in R language, resulting in garbled text.
  2. The file format is incorrect: It may either be the wrong format or a binary file instead of a text file, resulting in unreadable characters when attempting to read it.
  3. Special characters: Some characters in the file are not recognized or are causing encoding issues.
  4. Encoding conversion error: An error occurred during the encoding conversion of the file, resulting in garbled characters.
  5. Encoding recognition error: R language has limited capabilities in automatically recognizing file encoding when reading files, which may result in recognition errors leading to garbled text.
