How to fix an error with saving file "index.Rmd" in Blogdown?

I wanted to help with one question, but was recieved my own. Where is a problem?

I tried to repeat some basics from there: https://bookdown.org/yihui/blogdown/a-quick-example.html

It works! But...

Launching the server via the command:
  C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/Hugo/0.89.4/hugo.exe server --bind 127.0.0.1 -p 4321 --themesDir themes -t hugo-lithium -D -F --navigateToChanged
Serving the directory . at http://localhost:4321
Launched the hugo server in the background (process ID: 1780). To stop it, call blogdown::stop_server() or restart the R session.

... look, where is a message??? (as you can see there):

 Rendering content/post/2020-12-01-r-rmarkdown/index.Rmd... Done.

Ok, I tried to add content to index.Rmd:

```{r}
summary(Orange)
```

And, after saving, we can see this message:

Again these hellish replacement symbols and (Sys.setenv("LANGUAGE"="EN") didn't help, but this isn't a story about them).

How to fix this problem with index.Rmd in blogdown? Maybe someone faced with it?

Very grateful for the help.

And a little addition.

I deleted and recreated "my website".

This string was displayed...

Rendering content/post/2020-12-01-r-rmarkdown/index.Rmd... Done.

... but error is the same ...

This answer is for the future sufferers and thoughtless persons (as I am):

Guys, we shouldn't touch the "index.Rmd" in the main directory of our site's folder!

enter image description here

Am I right?

Some proposals to Yihui Xie:

Why "the main index.Rmd" can't have an other name, f.e.:

mainIndex;
primaryIndex;
baseIndex;
etc...

... and it will be nice, if you add to this file some info, f.e.

<!-- If you want to add some new info to your site - come to "content - post - bla-bla - index.Rmd" --> 
<!-- Please don't try to edit the current file --> 
---
site: blogdown:::blogdown_site
---

Or nevertheless someone can add something and save after "index.Rmd"?
