Diacritics and spelling errors

[IndrajeetPatil]

If I have words with accented characters, e.g. moiré (as in "moiré vibrations"), then running

spelling::spell_check_files(path = list.files(pattern = ".Rmd"),
                            lang = 'en-US'

marks this as a spelling error: moirÃ.

Any possibility of avoiding this?

Hmm it seems to work here. Are you on Windows? Please show your sessionInfo().

@maelle do you see this problem as well ?

Thank you! Can you confirm this is fixed in the devel version?

remotes::install_github("ropensci/spelling")

[dpprdan]

For me, moiré gets marked as a spelling error (in en-US), but correctly as moiré not as moirÃ. I am on Windows with cp1252 native encoding, as well.

[jeroen]

Yes that is expected. It seems moiré is not part of the standard English dictionaries.
