That sounds great, but at the same time I'm a bit confused. The ESRI specification <https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/manage-data/shapefiles/shapefile-file-extensions.htm> claims that the file contains a "codepage <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page>", while Java needs a Charset <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page>. And yet, if I look at the cpg files I have locally, the contents are either UTF-8 or Windows-1251, so indeed, charsets.
Can you shed some light on this?
