I have some columns in a data frame with column names of CO₂.I want to change this to CO2 (no subscripts). How can I do this? in the data table, it reads as CO2 and when I print column names, it reads as CO₂.

I tried following code but it refuses to change.

    Please share your data using dput(dataset)? Commented Jun 1, 2022 at 17:07

    @Quinten I'd strongly advise asking for dput of data subsets, not whole data. Especially on a question like this that is about the column names, we don't need or want the whole data set. dput(dataset[1:5, ]) is good--or in this case dataset appears to be a list so dput(dataset[[1]][1:5, ]).
