native_encode

Try to use the system native encoding to represent a character vector

Description

Apply enc2native() to the character vector, and check if enc2utf8() can convert it back without a loss. If it does, return enc2native(x), otherwise return the original vector with a warning.

Usage

native_encode(x, windows_only = is_windows())

Arguments

`x`	A character vector.
`windows_only`	Whether to make the attempt on Windows only. On Unix, characters are typically encoded in the native encoding (UTF-8), so there is no need to do the conversion.

Examples

library(xfun)
s = intToUtf8(c(20320, 22909))
Encoding(s)

s2 = native_encode(s)
Encoding(s2)
