How to export a csv in utf-8 format?

I am trying to export a data.frame to a csv with utf-8 encoding. I have tried generating the file with write.csv with no success and the help(write.csv) did not mention any specific advice on creating that specific output. Here is my current export line.

write.csv(prod_out, file="product_output.csv",append=FALSE,eol="\r")

Any advice you can offer is appreciated.

You can try this solution:

write.csv(data,"data.csv",fileEncoding = "UTF-8")

This question is pretty old - I guess things have changed a lot since 2010. Anyway, I just came across this post and I happen to know the solution. You just add fileEncoding = "UTF-8" option directly to write.csv.

Try opening a UTF8 connection:

con<-file('filename',encoding="UTF-8")
write.csv(...,file=con,...)
