Deep conversion to an encoding
Converts all characters directly or indirectly contained in an object to a specific encoding. This works even if the encoding is different in the elements of a character vector.

A function that accepts a character value as first argument and returns a (possibly classed) character with the desired encoding |
An object of class function of length 1.
to_utf8converts to UTF-8, using the utf8() class
where possible. Implemented as to_encoding(x, as_utf8)
to_nativeconverts to the native encoding.
Implemented as to_encoding(x, enc2native) on Windows
and as to_encoding(x, as_utf8) on Linux and OS X
to_latin1converts to the latin-1 encoding
to_alienconverts to the "other" encoding, i.e., UTF-8 on Windows and latin-1 on Linux and OS X.

character vectors to Unicode
