--------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  miguelluaces  |      Owner:  strk
     Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
 Priority:  blocker       |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.3.1
Component:  liblwgeom     |    Version:  2.3.x
 Keywords:  shp2pgsql     |
--------------------------+---------------------------
 A shapefile that could be imported without problems in shp2pgsql 2.1.7
 cannot be imported in shp2pgsql 2.3.0. The execution fails with the
 following error:

 Unable to convert data value to UTF-8 (iconv reports "Illegal byte
 sequence"). Current encoding is "WINDOWS-1252". Try "LATIN1" (Western
 European), or one of the values described at
 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/multibyte.html.

 The commandline was:

 d:\PostgreSQL\9.5\bin\shp2pgsql.exe -W UTF-8 establecimiento.shp
