[Python] Python in Rstudio with reticulate: gsub error

I want to use python in Rstudio by reticulate. But the non-utf8 characters I use in comments cause an error. For example, when I run,

reticulate::repl_python()


and then, I run in Python

# öngörü


I get the following error:

Error in gsub(“^\\\\s*|\\\\s*$”, “”, contents) : input string 1 is invalid
Warning:
In gsub(“^\\\\s*|\\\\s*$”, “”, contents) :
unable to translate '# <f6>ng<f6>r<fc>' to a wide string


Note that I didn't run gsub() manually. I think R used it in the backend to throw the error message.

To solve the problem, I ran the code below, but it didn't work.

file.edit(file.path(“~”, “.Rprofile”))
Sys.setlocale(“LC_CTYPE”, locale=“English.65001”)


Is there a solution to this problem?
