<div>Does fread() support UTF-8? I got a text file that
is mostly Latin-1 characters but encoded as UTF-8.
When I load the data, the first column name has a few
extra characters in the beginning ("id"), but I do
not get this when I convert the same file to ANSI
format using Windows Notepad.</div>

<div>I am guessing that UTF-8 encoding puts a few extra
characters in the beginning of the text file to
indicate that it is an UTF-8 encoding, and fread() is
reading that literally as the first column name.</div>

<div>Thanks for the clarification.</div>
