R: Encoding information

encoding {enc} | R Documentation

## Encoding information

### Description

The `encoding` function returns `"ASCII"` if the entire value consists of ASCII symbols only, and works identically to `Encoding()` otherwise. The `all_utf8` function is an efficient variant of `all(encoding(x) %in% c("ASCII", "UTF-8"))`.

### Usage

    encoding(x)

    all_utf8(x)

### Arguments

`x` | A character vector.

### Examples

    encoding("a")
    encoding("\u00fc")
    all_utf8(enc2utf8(c("a", "\u00fc")))

    # Platform-dependent:
    all_utf8(enc2native(c("a", "\u00fc")))
