Special symbols in ggvis #no2

问题

I know that the question about how to integrate greek symbols into axis titles in ggvis plots was answered by Thomas K in Special symbols in ggvis

library(ggvis)

title <- "CH\u2084 (\u03BC mol)"

mtcars %>%
  ggvis(~wt, ~mpg) %>%
  layer_points() %>% 
  add_axis('x', orient = 'top', title = title)

The solution seems straightforward but unfortunately does not work for me. I am using R studio and it plots the diagram but instead of the µ mol displays a little question mark in a diamond (rhombus) shape. The same happens if I attempt any other Greek letters. Any ideas whats going on? Do I have to install a certain package first or is it a problem with R studio? Thank you very much!

I had a similar problem and it was because I was running R on a 32 bit system.
