title: Error while reading csv file in R
body: <p>I am having some problems in reading a csv file with R.</p>
  
  <pre><code> x=read.csv("LorenzoFerrone.csv",header=T)
  
  Error in make.names(col.names, unique = TRUE) : 
        invalid multibyte string at '&lt;ff&gt;&lt;fe&gt;N'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can read the file using libre office with no problems. </p>
  
  <p>I can not upload the file because it is full of sensible information.</p>
  
  <p>What can I do?    </p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Setting encoding seem like the solution to the problem.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt; x=read.csv("LorenzoFerrone.csv",fileEncoding = "UCS-2LE")
