unicode error in R

[rcorty]

I am using MacOS 10.13.3, R 3.4.3, and ST3 build 3143.

I am not getting good handling of unicode characters in sublimeREPL R.

When I send library(tidyverse) to a fresh sublimeREPL (via SendCode), it outputs:

-- Attaching packages --------------------------------------- tidyverse 1.2.1 --
<U+221A> ggplot2 2.2.1     <U+221A> purrr   0.2.4
<U+221A> tibble  1.4.1     <U+221A> dplyr   0.7.4
<U+221A> tidyr   0.7.2     <U+221A> stringr 1.2.0
<U+221A> readr   1.1.1     <U+221A> forcats 0.2.0
-- Conflicts ------------------------------------------ tidyverse_conflicts() --
x dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
x dplyr::lag()    masks stats::lag()

When I send this same command to a fresh R session in terminal, iTerm, R GUI, and RStudio, it outputs:

── Attaching packages ─────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse 1.2.1 ──
✔ ggplot2 2.2.1     ✔ purrr   0.2.4
✔ tibble  1.4.1     ✔ dplyr   0.7.4
✔ tidyr   0.7.2     ✔ stringr 1.2.0
✔ readr   1.1.1     ✔ forcats 0.2.0
── Conflicts ────────────────────────────────────────── tidyverse_conflicts() ──
✖ dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
✖ dplyr::lag()    masks stats::lag()

e.g. the unicode checkmarks work.

I can confirm the same on MacOS 10.13.5/R 3.5.0/ST3 Build 3175. The behavior also affects representation of various characters (i.e. long space) in text data.
