To call in the statistician after the experiment is done may be no more
than asking him to perform a post-mortem examination: he may be able to say
what the experiment died of. ~ Sir Ronald Aylmer Fisher
The plural of anecdote is not data. ~ Roger Brinner
The combination of some data and an aching desire for an answer does not
ensure that a reasonable answer can be extracted from a given body of data.

> Hi,
>
> I have a R script file with Persian letters in it defined as a variable:
>
> #' @export
> letters_fa <- c('الف','ب','پ','ت','ث','ج','چ','ح','خ','ر','ز','د')
>
> I have specified the encoding field in my DESCRIPTION file of my package.
>
> ...
> Encoding: UTF-8
> ...
>
> I also included Sys.setlocale(locale="Persian") in my .RProfile, so it is
> executed when RCMD is called. However, after a BUILD and INSTALL, when I
> access the variable from the package, the characters are not printed

>  [1] "<d8><a7><d9><84><d9><81>" "<d8><a8>"                 "<d9><be>"
