I am reading tweets in the following format:
545253503963516928|Wed Dec 17 16:25:40 +0000 2014|Massachusetts Pharmacy Owners Arrested in Meningitis Deaths http://xxxxxxxxx
545235402156937217|Wed Dec 17 15:13:44 +0000 2014|For First Time, Treatment Helps Patients With Worst Kind of Stroke, Study Says http://xxxxxxxxx
The code I'm using is
msn <- read.table(file=".../msnhealthnews.txt",
sep="|",
header = FALSE,
quote="",
fill=TRUE,
stringsAsFactors = FALSE,
numerals ="no.loss",
encoding = "UTF-8")
There is a tweet that has a curly apostrophe:
You’re Already Losing Your Mind: http://on-msn.com/w0LiSx
This tweet is being read as follows:
"Youu0092re Already Losing Your Mind: http://on-msn.com/w0LiSx"
How I can ensure that the tweet is read correctly? I thought that setting encoding = "UTF-8" would take care of this.

Please define "correctly". You seem to want magical things to happen. Magic, sadly, isn't real.
