I have a dataframe with values in multiple languages.

I'm trying to use it in a leaflet map, but I can't get the encoding to work right.

I realize that the relevant encoding is "UTF-8".

I tried the solution suggested here but it doesn't work for me.

Minimal example code:

options(encoding = "UTF-8")
library(leaflet)

df <- data.frame(
  name = c("Europe", "ხარებაშვილი", "喬治亞"),
  lng = c(40, 40.5, 41),
  lat = c(70, 70, 70)
)

leaflet(data = df) %>% 
  addCircleMarkers(label = ~name, labelOptions = labelOptions(permanent = T))

Minimal example screenshot:

    Which version of R and `leaflet` are you using? Running your code as is, I was able to [produce three markers with the correct encoding](https://imgur.com/a/ODAivsY). For reference I have R version 3.5.1 (2018-07-02) and leaflet_2.0.2. – Cristian E. Nuno Dec 21 '18 at 23:55

    Thanks @CristianE.Nuno. That's odd - I have the exact same versions of R and leaflet (see session info that I added above). Would you please let me know what is your session info so that I can compare the other components? – Yanir Mor Dec 22 '18 at 07:53

    Session info was too long to post as a comment so here's a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/vkiC3nd. – Cristian E. Nuno Dec 22 '18 at 18:41

    Thanks again @CristianE.Nuno. Now I'm quite sure it is related to Windows, the locale `en_US.UTF-8` is not available for me... – Yanir Mor Dec 23 '18 at 13:40
  • No problem @yanirmor. I hope you find a solution to your encoding problem. Not sure if this is useful but this might help you download the UTF-8 locale: https://askubuntu.com/questions/162391/how-do-i-fix-my-locale-issue. – Cristian E. Nuno Dec 23 '18 at 18:59
