QGIS has quite nice possibilities to select the encoding when opening
and writing the various supported vector data formats (including e.g.
shape and KML).

Hi all
I am having some issues with special characters in my application (sure
I am not the first!) and wondered what the best way is to 'clean up' the
data so I know it is specifically in a given format say UTF-8 or ISO. My
source data was from KML -> shp using ArcGIS 10 (though who knows what
the kml format was!). One would assume if using ArcMap on a UK machine
would give you an ISO output.... Should I copy the characters back into
the attribute table via ArcGIS (but what program should I use to copy
the characters from - Word...). I did use the ArcGIS export registry
setting to export my supposed ISO shapfile to UTF-8 format (but the
label rendering is wrong). Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Many thanks
Chris
