title: Read Octal characters when reading csv files in R
body: <p>I'm trying to read a csv file in R and its header contains spanish characters (such as "ó").
  When I read it as <code>read.csv("1cona.csv")</code>, special characters (ó) are displayed as dots. (i.e. producci.n instead of producción).</p>
  
  <p>I tried using <code>read.csv("1cona.csv",check.names = F)</code> and R is reading the csv header as <code>Producci\363n</code>. I understand that is a Octal character, however, I am not sure how to read it correctly. I am using OS X (not sure if that is the problem).</p>
  
  <p>I will appreciate any help.</p>
