I try to solve the problem of accents with this script: 

Mapa@data$NAME_2 <- Mapa@data$NAME_2 %>% 
      as.character() %>% 
      stri_trans_general("Latin-ASCII") %>% 
      toupper()

But when I open the column NAME_2, the name of the municipalities is, for example: MACEIA³ instead of MACEIO or MACEIO. Mapa@data$NAME_2 is a column with the name of the municipalities of Brazil.

    Which command are you using to read the data? You need to set the encoding to "utf-8".

# Instalar o pacote abjutils, se ainda não tiver instalado:
# install.packages("abjutils")

library(abjutils)
x <- c("maceió", "acentuação")
rm_accent(x)
#> [1] "maceio"     "acentuacao"

Test this:

#Ajustando codificação de caracters do dataset
df = apply(Mapa@data, 2, as.character) 
Encoding(df) = "UTF-8"
Mapa@data = as.data.frame(df)

  • I had already tried it, unfortunately it didn’t work. :(

  • Check the database, it may be that the error is not in reading by R, but in the data file.
