code files for non-ASCII characters

Found the following file with non-ASCII characters:
  Fatal error: cannot create 'R_TempDir'
Portable packages must use only ASCII characters in their R code and
NAMESPACE directives, except perhaps in comments.
Use \uxxxx escapes for other characters.
Function ‘tools::showNonASCIIfile’ can help in finding non-ASCII
characters in files.
