It would be nice, if fread() could automatically handle "UTF-8" encoded files correctly on Windows as the functions in readr package do.
Try the ezerai dataset in #2431

fread('ezerai', sep = '\t')

A few top rows:

readr::read_delim('ezerai', delim = '\t', locale = locale(decimal_mark = ","))

I am aware of the option encoding = "UTF-8".
