in R, data.frame() or write.csv2() functions, change the encoding

Question

I have a text in Persian:
tabs <- "سرگرمی"
and I need to have it in dataframe.
when I try:
final <- data.frame(tabs)

I get this:

exporting the text to.csv using write.csv2(), gives me the same problem too.

any idea how to have the text as original encoding?

Answer 1

We can set the locale with Sys.setlocale

Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","Persian")
