This function converts input strings to ASCII, i.e., to character strings consisting of bytes not greater than 127.
stri_enc_toascii(str)Returns a character vector.
a character vector to be converted
Marek Gagolewski and other contributors
All code points greater than 127 are replaced with the ASCII SUBSTITUTE
CHARACTER (0x1A).
R encoding declarations are always used to determine
which encoding is assumed for each input, see stri_enc_mark.
If ill-formed byte sequences are found in UTF-8 byte
streams, a warning is generated.
A bytes-marked string is assumed to be in an 8-bit encoding
extending the ASCII map (a common assumption in R itself).
Note that the SUBSTITUTE CHARACTER (\x1a == \032) may be interpreted
as the ASCII missing value for single characters.
