Re: [mapserver-users] Creating and editing UTF8 shape files
Hi Ian, It is also possible to save shapefiles in UTF8 in ArcMap by changing a registry entry (a little user-unfriendly, but it works). See http://resources.arcgis.com/content/kbase?fa=articleShowd=21106 [1] .

[mapserver-users] Creating and editing UTF8 shape files
Hello list, Can anyone advise us what tools are available for creating and editing UTF8 shape files. Many thanks Ian ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
Re: [mapserver-users] Creating and editing UTF8 shape files
Hello Ian, QGIS can handle many different encodings. You set the encoding when you save a new shapefile or load an existing shapefile.

Christy, Many thanks, that seems to do what we want. Do you know how to import a UTF8 text from a CSV file?

Re: [mapserver-users] Creating and editing UTF8 shape files
Ian, For future QGIS-related questions, QGIS user's list email address is here: qgis-u...@lists.osgeo.org To import a delimited text file, there is a plugin called Add Delimited Text Layer. It can then be saved to a shapefile by right-clicking on it in the list of Layers on the left.
