UTF-8 encoding for labels and attributes

[gin]

Hello~

Is it possible to manipulate a setting somewhere such that the dbf exported with a shapefile is encoded in UTF-8? We are mapping languages and often need to use special characters.

Thanks,

There is not currently any support in Global Mapper for encoding text written to the DBF file accompanying Shapefiles as UTF-8 text. However if your text is encoded as UTF-8 when it is imported, it should stay encoded that way on export.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

Mike
