Encoding issue in GetTimeline #8

Hi Pablo,

I tried to download some tweets from Spain with tweetsscores::getTimeline . Unfortunetely, it always runs into problems with special characters. I found your tutorial on special characters (http://pablobarbera.com/ECPR-SC104/code/12-encoding.html) and following it, I noticed that the issue does not happen using the tweetscores::searchTweets function as their special characters seem to be encoded properly. I compared the source code but could not spot the what´s wrong. Any help would be much appreciated! :)

Best, Niko
