Encoding problems reading .bib into R using RefManageR
I'm trying to follow this blog post to automatically generate .md files for each of my publications, for use in blogdown. The function in the post uses the package RefManageR to read entries from a BibTeX file, and creates a .md file for each entry.
My problem is that I cannot get RefManageR to read special characters correctly, even when I take pains to save the .bib with UTF-8 encoding and specify the encoding in the call to ReadBib.
As an example: I generate my .bib using Zotero, by exporting a collection to BibTeX with UTF-8 encoding. It gives me the following entry in my .bib:
@article{senior_pantropical_2017,
title = {A pantropical analysis of the impacts of forest
degradation and conversion on local temperature},
volume = {7},
issn = {2045-7758},
doi = {10.1002/ece3.3262},
number = {19},
journal = {Ecology and Evolution},
author = {Senior, Rebecca A. and Hill, Jane K. and González del
Pliego, Pamela and Goode, Laurel K. and Edwards, David P.},
month = oct,
year = {2017},
pages = {7897--7908}
}
As you can see, there is an accent on one of the author names (González del Pliego). I check the encoding by opening in RStudio (where the characters are displayed correctly) and to be doubly sure I do 'Save with encoding'. No matter what I do, when I read the .bib into R like so:
ReadBib('path/to/refs.bib', .Encoding = "UTF-8")
It always shows up like this:
[1] R. A. Senior, J. K. Hill, P. González del Pliego, et al. “A pantropical analysis of the impacts of forest degradation and conversion on local temperature”. In: _Ecology and Evolution_7.19 (Oct. 2017), pp. 7897-7908. ISSN: 2045-7758. DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3262.
Why is the á appearing as á? I've tried various packages and functions (RefManageR::ReadBib, bibtex::read.bib and bib2df::bib2df) and various different ways of specifying and checking the encoding. I can't typeset the characters manually (e.g. {'a}) because some of my publications have a lot of authors. Not sure how to proceed.

UPDATE: for now I can't figure this out so I am manually typesetting the characters, although that is still a bit iffy for some characters (e.g. í )
