Why do some Unicode characters display in matrices, but not data frames in R? -


for @ least cases, asian characters printable if contained in matrix, or vector, not in data.frame. here example

q<-'天'  q # works # [1] "天"   matrix(q) # works #      [,1] # [1,] "天"  q2<-data.frame(q,stringsasfactors=false)  q2 # not work #          q # 1 <u+5929>  q2[1,] # works again. # [1] "天"

clearly, device capable of displaying character, when in data.frame, not work.

doing digging, found print.data.frame function runs format on each column. turns out if run format.default directly, same problem occurs:

format(q) # "<u+5929>"

digging format.default, find calling internal format, written in c.

before dig further, want know if others can reproduce behaviour. is there configuration of r allow me display these characters within data.frames?

my sessioninfo(), if helps:

r version 3.0.1 (2013-05-16) platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit)  locale: [1] lc_collate=english_canada.1252  lc_ctype=english_canada.1252    [3] lc_monetary=english_canada.1252 lc_numeric=c                    [5] lc_time=english_canada.1252      attached base packages: [1] stats     graphics  grdevices utils     datasets  methods   base       loaded via namespace (and not attached): [1] tools_3.0.1

i hate answer own question, although comments , answers helped, weren't quite right. in windows, doesn't seem can set generic 'utf-8' locale. can, however, set country-specific locales, work in case:

sys.setlocale("lc_ctype", locale="chinese") q2 # works fine #  q #1 天

but, make me wonder why format seems use locale; wonder if there way have ignore locale in windows. wonder if there generic utf-8 locale don't know on windows.

php - Calling a template part from a post -

i include iframe within post in wordpress. located inside content of post, meaning cannot in post template file, otherwise either before or after. i'd add facebook plugin within posts: <div id="socialwrap"><div class="fb-like" data-href="http://onlinearizonahomes.info" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true" data-font="arial"></div></div> i thinking of calling template part within post <?php get_template_part( 'social' ); ?> cannot use php within post without plugin (i'd avoid using plugin this). an alternative using javascript create html in post, seems unnecessary use of javascript. what best way add html within wordpress post? you can use shortcode. add functions.php function cudjex_fbshare( $atts, $content = null ) { global $post; $link = get_permalink($post->id); return '<div id="socialwrap...
