Two things:

First, to Lily: "‰" is the "per mil" symbol, not percent; it's not an 
ASCII symbol, which is why there are issues displaying it.  If you 
really mean percent, use "%" and you likely won't have problems.

And to confirm what Bert said:  this does work in R even if you use 
dev.copy() to copy from the regular R graphics device to pdf, but not 
from the RStudioGD to pdf.  So this really is an RStudio bug.
