AFAIK this is the way it works on Windows. It has been discussed in several
places, e.g.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17715956/why-do-some-unicode-characters-display-in-matrices-but-not-data-frames-in-r
,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17715956/why-do-some-unicode-characters-display-in-matrices-but-not-data-frames-in-r
(both of these came up when I googled the subject line of your email).

Best,
