sym: Create a symbol or list of symbols

Description

These functions take strings as input and turn them into symbols. Contrarily to as.name(), they convert the strings to the native encoding beforehand. This is necessary because symbols remove silently the encoding mark of strings (see set_str_encoding()).

Usage

sym(x)

syms(x)

Arguments

x

A string or list of strings.

Value

A symbol for sym() and a list of symbols for syms().
