Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text.

[Tom1316]

I'm following the script to tidy JSON Twitter data:

Load library

library(tidytweetjson)

You need to designate a directory path where you saved the list of JSON files.

dirpath <- tcltk::tk_choose.dir()

Parallel processing

n_cores <- availableCores() - 1

plan(multiprocess, # multicore, if supported, otherwise multisession
workers = n_cores) # the maximum number of workers

Assign the parsed result to the df_all object

df_all <- jsonl_to_df_all(dirpath)

However, this returns an error reference certain characters that I assume are emojis and other UTF code:

Error: lexical error: invalid char in json text.
ÿþ{
(right here) ------^
In addition: There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)

As I can't load the JSON to clean it, do you have any advice for what to do?
