<div><br></div><div>Since I got no answer, then I think I may post it here, this is the original question:</div><div><br></div><div><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:14px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;background-color:rgba(248,248,248,0.6)">

I tried to use the following script to convert shapefile to mif:</p><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;padding:5px;border:0px;font-size:12px;vertical-align:baseline;overflow:auto;width:auto;max-height:600px;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono','Courier New',monospace,serif;background-color:rgb(238,238,238);word-wrap:normal;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px">

<code style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono','Courier New',monospace,serif;color:rgb(34,34,34)">ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo File" D:\docs\arcgis_data\shp_mif\BOU.mif D:\docs\arcgis_data\shp\BOU.shp
</code></pre><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:14px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;background-color:rgba(248,248,248,0.6)">

it works.</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:14px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;background-color:rgba(248,248,248,0.6)">

But I found that if the name of the shapefile has non-ASCII characters like this:</p><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;padding:5px;border:0px;font-size:12px;vertical-align:baseline;overflow:auto;width:auto;max-height:600px;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono','Courier New',monospace,serif;background-color:rgb(238,238,238);word-wrap:normal;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px">

<code style="margin:0px;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono','Courier New',monospace,serif;color:rgb(34,34,34)">D:\docs\arcgis_data\shp\ťOĽ_.shp

Then the covert will fail with message:</p><pre style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;padding:5px;border:0px;font-size:12px;vertical-align:baseline;overflow:auto;width:auto;max-height:600px;font-family:Consolas,Menlo,Monaco,'Lucida Console','Liberation Mono','DejaVu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono','Courier New',monospace,serif;background-color:rgb(238,238,238);word-wrap:normal;color:rgb(51,51,51);line-height:18px">

Any idea to fix it?</p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;border:0px;font-size:14px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both;color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;line-height:18px;background-color:rgba(248,248,248,0.6)">
