The same thing occurs on my machine.

tempfile <- tempfile()         
text <- "glück"                
library(enc)                   
write_lines_enc(text, tempfile)
read_lines_enc(tempfile)       
#> [1] ""

In the documentation of write_lines_enc() it says:

It [the function] always expects UTF-8.

I think the problem is that the string "glück" is encoded in the native encoding of the operating system you are using. On my mac, it is UTF-8, but I guess on Windows, the string is encoded differently. Will check tomorrow. So I think there is no issue, we just convert to utf encoding first using enc::to_utf8().

So I think there is no issue, we just convert to utf encoding first using enc::to_utf8().

How about always applying enc::to_utf8() to text inside enc's functions?
