[Qgis-user] OSM plugin encoding problem

[Nicholas Klein-Baer]

Hi,

I'm using the OSM plugin for qGIS to convert some .osm data to
shapefiles. The .osm data in question has cyrillic characters in some
the tags, but when I save as a shapefile something seems to be going
wrong: The cyrillic characters all appear as question marks in the
resulting attribute table. I've tried specifying the encoding as UTF-8
in the 'save vector layer as ...' dialog box (this is the encoding
system used by OSM, correct?) but it doesn't seem to help.

Thanks,
Nick
