UTF-8 special character encoding issues

Has there been any recent server change? Suddenly, from one day to the next, my R Shiny applications started failing with characters like 'ñ' or accents without any code update. The apps work perfectly on local machine. What can I do to resolve this?

Thank you very much for the quick response. Perfect. I'll be waiting to see when it's ok again.

Our app was affected by this too. We had to take down our feature to toggle the language between English and French.

We just pushed out a change which should address these locale issues. Sorry for the trouble here. Please keep us posted if you still see issues.

Everything working as expected for me again. I'll comment here if I notice something unexpected in the next days. Thank you!
