这应该按照ndoogan的建议使用iconv摆脱表情符号。

一些可重现的数据:

require(twitteR) 
# note that I had to register my twitter credentials first
# here's the method: http://stackoverflow.com/q/9916283/1036500
s <- searchTwitter('#emoticons', cainfo="cacert.pem") 

# convert to data frame
df <- do.call("rbind", lapply(s, as.data.frame))

# inspect, yes there are some odd characters in row five
head(df)

                                                                                                                                                text

以下是删除表情符号的关键字:

# Clean text to remove odd characters
df$text <- sapply(df$text,function(row) iconv(row, "latin1", "ASCII", sub=""))

现在再次检查,看看奇数字符是否消失(见第5行)

head(df)    
                                                                                                                               text

您可以使用正则表达式检测非字母字符并将其删除。示例代码:

rmNonAlphabet <- function(str) {
  words <- unlist(strsplit(str, " "))
  in.alphabet <- grep(words, pattern = "[a-z|0-9]", ignore.case = T)
  nice.str <- paste(words[in.alphabet], collapse = " ")
  nice.str
}
