Hi,
I work with multiple locales/languages on Windows, and after my recent update to R 4.2, I keep seeing a warning " using locale code page other than 65001 ("UTF-8") may cause problems" whenever I try to set the system locale (and regardless of what language I try to set it to).
When I revert back to R 4.1.3, the warning doesn't appear.
Can anyone tell me what this warning means and whether there's anyway to get rid of it? Thanks!
