Check the example at the end of section 2 of the gsubfn vignette:

OK. I'm impressed. So I loaded gsubfn to do some self study and got:
require(gsubfn)

demo("gsubfn-si")
demo(gsubfn-si)

I can't reproduce this on my Windows system. I assume its a character

first (or some variation):
Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","C")

First it loads X11() and then I get:
demo(gsubfn-si)

I don't see any unusual characters in that output... ooops, there is
it is... that "mu".
