I have a shapefile with names for Regions. These don't seem to contain special characters but ugly hieroglyphs. What can I do do display them correctly. If I import the shape as UTF-8 it doesn't work...
Also the Names are in a dbase table. So is it possible to save a dbase table in utf8 or is there a different way of dealing with it?
Answer
try opening the dbase-file with libreoffice (or openoffice) and try different encodings, if utf-8 doesnot work try iso-8859-1 and look if the chars öäüß are displayed correctly
