Turkey country name and iso3c #337

Closed gclawson1 closed 1 year ago

gclawson1 commented 1 year ago

Turkey has changed its official name to "Türkiye", and in many of the FAOSTAT datasets that I access, it now shows up as Türkiye. I keep having to manually assign the iso3c for this country because countrycode(df$countryname, origin="country.name", destination = "iso3c") doesn't recognize "Türkiye". Are there plans to add this in as a synonym for Turkey?

Can you make sure you are running the latest version of countrycode? It works on my computer.

Ah apologies, it was an encoding error on my part. Thanks!
