s2312611 / SHAPEFILE_ENCODING

Star 0

We are internationally moving toward UTF-8 as the standard character encoding. Yet, shapefiles published by Japanese government agencies are encoded exclusively in Shift JIS. If GIS software loads such shapefiles, text may become garbled. To prevent it, this project provides Bash/PowerShell scripts that add a code page file to each shapefile.
