Change the locale in your setup chunck

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
Sys.setlocale("LC_ALL","en_US.UTF-8")
library(flexdashboard)
library(tidyverse)
title_var <- Sys.Date() %>%
  format("%d %B %Y") %>% 
  as.character() %>% 
  paste0("Update (", . , " @ 23:59 UTC/GMT)")

```

Note that the locale's name might be different depending on the operating system.
