These do not work in the pdf() device used for R-devel CMD check on CRAN (and for most others) and so give a check failure with R-devel CMD check --as-cran or if environment variable _R_CHECK_MBCS_CONVERSIONFAILURE is set to a non-empty value. Note that this stops at the first issue.

NB: the issues will not be seen on a platform whose libiconv does transliteration -- known are macOS 14 and Alpine Linux. But for example on macOS 14, missing symbols are silently substituted by ?, which is not useful.

[The cairo_pdf() and cairo_ps() devices handle fonts differently and can plot a wider (but platform-dependent) range of Unicode chars. You could arrange for your examples/tests to use cairo_pdf() if dev.cur() shows the current device is pdf() and cairo_pdf() finds the glyphs.

None of the graphics devices to which I have access were able to plot the emojis used by WhatsR.

For superscripts (reporter) another possibility is to use plotmath.

Please correct before 2023-11-14 to safely retain your package on CRAN. Do study the plots produced: CRAN submissions does not have resources to do so.
