<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">I create attributive data in UTF8 too, but users of Arcview GIS 3.x and versions of Mapinfo before 10 automatically create it in CP1251 (they basically cannot do it in UTF8), so this happens quite often.<br>
<br>
It is interesting if other non-latin users are running into similar issues?<br>

What do you think about adding capability to read optional cpg (code-page) file<br>
to automatically determine encoding? Sort of like a prj file, but for<br>
encodings. ESRI software uses *.cpg file for this purpose and we<br>
could've make use of that too.<br>
<br>
Switching back and forth from one encoding to another can be tiring<br>
and this happens a lot with Cyrillics, well at least in my case :)<br>
<br>
And yes, we can work on adding that if devs give green light.<br>
1+ for me. <br>
I generally don't switch beetwen encodings, but I think it's a good<br>
improvement.<br>
<br>
Cheers.<br>
