[Qgis-user] UTF-8 as standard encoding

Thu Jul 16 05:22:16 PDT 2015

Dear QGIS community,

is there a way to tell qgis to use UTF-8 as a standard encoding? I know that I can create a shapefile with a *.cpg file with contains the enconding information, but I want to use UTF-8 for all files that I load to qgis.

Can I enter this somewhere as a global setting?

Kind regards
Thomas
