Pretty sure this is an issue about the Unicode handling in R (under windows). This is what the README page looks like: https://github.com/IndrajeetPatil/ggstatsplot/tree/master/tests

nice! i'll try to figure something out.

yonicd commented 5 years ago

digging into this a bit it looks like rmarkdown isnt rendering the unicode. the unicode is being read in right.

this is the warning icon in windows

yonicd commented 5 years ago

until issue is resolved in rmarkdown.

windows OS (based on .Platform[['OS.type']]) will have characters instead of icons.

Sorry, couldn't get back to you on Twitter about this. Busy day.

Yeah, this looks good as a temporary solution!
