encode.character

Encodes character. If <code>sep</code> is NULL, it is replaced with the first of these that is not otherwise present in the result: /|:~!@#$

Interconverts between ordered lists and compact string notation.
Useful for capturing code lists, and pair-wise codes and decodes, for text storage.
Analogous to factor levels and labels. Generics encode() and decode()
perform interconversion, while codes() and decodes() extract components of an encoding.
The function encoded() checks whether something is interpretable as an encoding.
If a vector has an encoded 'guide' attribute, as_factor() uses it to coerce to factor.
