Remove accents from a dataframe column in R

Question

I got a data.table base. I got a term column in this data.table

class(base$term)
[1] character
length(base$term)
[1] 27486

I\'m able to remove

Answer 1

Ok the way to solve the problem :

Encoding(base$terme[2])
[1] "UTF-8"
iconv(base$terme[2],from="UTF-8",to="ASCII//TRANSLIT")
[1] "Millesime"
