Hi Sharad
I'm sorry, I haven't ever worked with shapefiles or geopkg files so I'm
afraid I don't have expertise in this area. I just had access to these data
files, so I passed them on.

Hi Nikhil, Ujaval, and others who responded:
Shiv, my colleague who handles our webgis, tried importing the geopkg
version (which was storing and displaying Devanagari variable names in
QGIS) into postGIS. He says "I used the normal pguploader, shape2posrgis,
and ogr2ogr method". But reports that
Ok, thanks, Nikhil. Let me see what works at our backend.

Thanks, Ujaval. Yes saving as .geopkg works (saves the field names in full
and displays properly upon reopening). This is the only solution that has
worked so far.
But I am not sure this is going to work for us in this particular situation

The file you are loading may have a different encoding that QGIS3. You have to
verify this manually and make sure that QGIS3 and file encoding is the same.
I am guessing the while QGIS3 is
Just to clarify/muddy the situation: I am able to enter long Devanagari
text in the District/Jila column without any problems. It is the

The answer is not going to be simple.
Make sure that every time you save or open the file, the application uses
encoding utf-8. Microsoft uses another weird encoding called utf-16
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16). Stay away from utf-16 it if you want
to copy-paste anything from the
Hi folks, I am using QGIS and I want to create variable names in Devanagari
(for instance जिला instead of District). If I create a new column in the
attribute table and enter the column name in Devanagari using Microsoft
Indic Language Tool on my computer, it seems to work (जिला is shown as the
