You will need to ask once R 15.0 is released (sometime next century?).

But in a released version of R, the problem would be your locale 
settings, so study the manual at e.g. 
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html#Internationalization

Since you managed to install it, something is different in your 
environment now from when you installed R.  Check your environment 
variables such as LC_ALL or LANG.  A guess is that you have .utf8 where 
.UTF-8 is required, or v.v.

PLEASE do, and note what it says about R versions.
