Hex code '\a0' crashes language server

Setup:

• windows 10
• vscode v1.87.2
• R v4.3.3
• languageserver v0.3.16 (installed from GitHub)

Workspace containing a single file named "test.R" with content:

'\xa0'

Error:
Having this file open and reloading the vscode windows produces the following Error messages:
"Connection to server got closed. Server will not be restarted." (Source: R)
"Client R Language Server: connection to server is erroring. read ECONNRESET" (Source: R)

R Language Server output channel contains:

R Language Server (11948) started

Notes:
I could not reproduce using wsl.
The file name does not seem to be the issue, the error does not occur with different file contents.
If I start with an empty file and add the text '\xa0', the languageserver usually does not crash and features like Go to Definition work on the following:

s <- '\xa0'

s

Reproduce on Windows 10 with R 4.3.3, VS Code 1.87.2, and languageserver 0.3.16 using a file containing '\xa0'. Start with the document_link_reply call in the provided stack trace and compare behavior with an empty file or WSL; done means the language server no longer exits or reports ECONNRESET for this content.
