Replacing `Zero Width No-Break Space` with `space` in R
<p>I want to replace <code>Zero Width No-Break Space</code> with <code>space</code> in a <code>Persian text</code> using <code>R</code>.
I used the code like this according to <a href="http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/feff/index.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this link</a>.</p>
<pre><code>testAdrs&lt;-&quot;خيابان‌ مولوي‌نرسيده‌به‌قيام‌&quot;
testAdrs&lt;-gsub('\xef\xbb\xbf',' ',testAdrs)
</code></pre>
<p>I want my <code>testAdrs</code> to be like <code>&quot;خيابان‌ مولوي‌ نرسيده‌ به‌ قيام‌&quot;</code>, however
there is no change in my string.</p>
<p>what is the problem?</p>
