Contextual help on R documents does not show the head title lines in correct encodings as in documents contents #74

The contextual help works very good for python notebooks. For R documents the contextual help also works well, except those head lines, titles, and subtitles. It looks like those lines are in different encodings than the documents contents. The contextual help on those lines often have one extra char before each of the letters. Seems like utf16 encoding strings show in utf8 settings.

I also have jupyterhub running jupyterlab notebooks. The contextual help on those jupyterlab pages do not have this issue. The vscode is attached to the same R kernel on the same docker container which jupyterhub is running on. I think both of vscode and jupyterhub use the same R documents from the same source. So for vscode there may be more encoding aspects to be considered. Thanks your for you help on this issue.
