DT's on shinyapps.i.o not working about dt HOT 4 CLOSED

I guess it is a problem related to the system locale and character encoding. Does your app read external files that contain multi-byte characters? If it does, you should make sure the characters are read into the app as UTF-8. The ShinyApps.io uses Ubuntu, and I guess your local computer is Windows? This is what sessionInfo() on ShinyApps.io normally looks like:

Fixed. Thank you!

I've made multiple files before - converting excel docs and then saving as
csv, always worked fine. For some reason this file must have had a
character somewhere with an issue.

I used Notepad (at the bottom select encoding as UTF-8) and everything works

Glad to know that. Thanks!

I was having the same issue and adding this line fixed it for me: Sys.setlocale('LC_ALL','C')
