<p>Your suggestion makes sense. The opening line of the index.html
code established UTF-8 as the code and which is now the same as
the code for the Q-GIS layer. And yet, the problem persists. To
make matters more complicated, the map has all the accents when
opened from by computer, but looses them once uploaded. <br></p></div></blockquote><div><br></div>This article by Bentley indicates that their software (and who knows, maybe other software) expects shapefile characters to be encoded as ISO8859-1.
