Hyphens that, e.g., get auto generated in MS Word are non ASCII. You
have to declare an appropriate encoding, or even better, replace by
regular hypehsn.
See functions
tools:::showNonASCII tools:::showNonASCIIfile
that may help to see where these are...

Hi all,
I cannot get my package to correctly build on Windows because of an
encoding error that I just can't figure out. The package builds on my Mac
(10.14.6) and on a recent Debian release.
The source code for the package can be viewed here:
https://github.com/JHarrisonEcoEvo/CNVRG
The error code thrown by the "check_win_release" function of devtools is:
* checking PDF version of manual ... WARNING
LaTeX errors when creating PDF version.
This typically indicates Rd problems.
LaTeX errors found:
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char ‐ (U+2010)
(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.
See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
! Package inputenc Error: Unicode char ‐ (U+2010)
(inputenc) not set up for use with LaTeX.
See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
* checking PDF version of manual without hyperrefs or index ... ERROR
* checking for detritus in the temp directory ... OK
* DONE
Status: 1 ERROR, 1 WARNING, 1 NOTE
FYI the note referenced is because the package is a new submission.
I figured the problem was with hyphens (the unicode 2010) and so I went
through the manual and vignette and deleted all the hyphens in the regular
text. There are still hyphen symbols in the assignment operator of the
examples ("<-"). Are these the problem?
I have spent way too much time trying to figure this out so any help would
be greatly appreciated. I see that many folks have similar issues with
vignettes and manuals but I haven't found a solution that works for me.
I am completely fine not having the package build on Windows. Users of that
system can download the manual or view it in a browser. However, I don't
see how I can get the package on CRAN without fixing this.
Thanks for your time and assistance!
