I asked a question about this on StackOverlow but no one has been able to help me yet and I would really like to try this competition. Can anyone help me with this?
Original question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24437479/rstudio-output-of-russian-characters
In the following code, I am reading in a TSV file and outputting the first few titles from it:
> raw <- read.csv("avito_train.tsv", sep='\\t', stringsAsFactors = F, nrows = 100)
> View(raw)
> str(raw$title[1:3])
chr [1:3] "Toyota Sera, 1991" "Монтаж кровли" "КоÑтюм Steilmann""| __truncated__
Whereas, the titles should display as:
Toyota Sera, 1991
Монтаж кровли
Костюм Steilmann
When I open up my `raw` variable to view it in RStudio, I can see the characters fine (actual Russian characters). However, as you can see from above, the output into the R console is not Russian at all, it's some strangely encoded text.
Is this correct? Why does it do this, and how can I get it to output the text as it does when I am viewing the `raw` variable loaded from the TSV file?

As posted in my new question (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24492969/apply-encoding-to-entire-data-table) it works perfectly if I set the encoding on a single row/column.
But, I need to do that same thing to an entire data.table, not just one row/column.
Also, I am now using fread since it is much faster than read.csv.

I believe the problem is wholly in RStudio. Not all of the text controls they use are Unicode compliant, and so while the content is read correctly the control cannot display it correctly.
