Problems with Hebrew encoding in Shiny

[Eitan]

Hi,

I have problems with Hebrew encoding in Shiny.

In the Rstudio i can view the Hebrew text correctly , but when i run the Shiny app I have gibberish.

1 - Hebrew becomes gibberish in the Shiny DataTable viewers window/browser.

2 - If I take the columns name (names(df)) I can see the Hebrew symbols correctly but with dot between words.

How can I solve it?

Do you have a solution that appropriate to give solution that working when I share my apps? Meaning to say, when I'll share apps with customers they won't have to do a lot of changes.

Thank you !

2. what are you running your Rstudio on? (windows/linux...)

3. can you add some code

i found the same problem, it is more pronounced for windows users that cant set windows-1255.utf-8 like unix users. this is a screen grab from the new rstudio that uses the same framework as datatables.
