utf8 <- "\u4e0b\u5348\u597d"
print(utf8)
#> [1] "下午好"
ced_enc_detect(utf8)
#> [1] "UTF-8"

# detect raw vector encoding
ced_enc_detect(charToRaw(ascii))

• Make a minimal reproducible example of the code that consistently causes the error;
• Make sure that the error occurs during the execution of a function from the ced package, not from other packages;
