编码问题：在R中将字节转换为汉字

Question

I read from a html file in R which contains Chinese characters. But it shows something like

"    <td class=\"forumCell\"><a href=\"#\" onClick=\"if(confirm('\xc4\xe3\u0237\xd0\xc5Ҫ\xbbָ\xb4\xb8\xc3\xce\xc4\xd5\xc2\xc2\xf0\xa3\xbf')){location.href='articleBakAdmin.php?action=restore&articleID=120516';}\">\xbbָ\xb4</a></td>"

It is the "\\x" strings that I need to extract. How can I convert them into readable Chinese characters?

By the way, somehow simply copy and pasting the above \\x strings would not replicate the problem.

Answer 1

are you sure they are all chinese characters? what is the html page encoding? the strings you pasted looks to be a mix of hex \\xc4\\xe3 and unicode chars \ȷ .
