R. Actually, I like R very much and I would like to thank to everyone
who contributes to it. I use R regularly in my work (moved from Java,

For me, this would be a perfect solution.
I.e., do not use the “best” fit and leave it to user’s competence:
a) in some functions, utf-8 works
b) in others -> error is thrown (e.g., incomplete string, NA, etc.)
=> user has to change the code with his/her intentional “best fit string
literal

Yes, again in a script sourced by source(encoding = ...). But also by
typing it directly in R console.
Most of the time, I use RStudio as a front-end. For this experiment, I
also verified it in Rgui. In both front-ends, it behaves completely in
the same way.

Hello,
There is a long-lasting problem with processing UTF-8 source code in R
on Windows OS. As Windows do not have "UTF-8" locale and R passes
source code through OS before executing it, some characters are
"simplified" by the OS before processing, leading to undesirable
changes.
