Claudiu,
OGR supports unicode strings, and expect/outputs in UTF-8 as the pivot
encoding. See https://gdal.org/development/rfc/rfc23_ogr_unicode.html
for details
For shapefiles on writing, you'll need to pass the ENCODING=UTF-8 layer
creation option (see
https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/shapefile.html#layer-creation-options),
or at another value that is compatible of cyrillic characters (CP1251 e.g.)
Demo (in UTF-8 console)
$ cat cyrillic.csv
id,txt
1,"Привет"
$ ogr2ogr cyrillic.shp cyrillic.csv -lco ENCODING=CP1251
$ ogrinfo cyrillic.dbf -al -q
Layer name: cyrillic
Metadata:
DBF_DATE_LAST_UPDATE=2021-08-12
OGRFeature(cyrillic):0
id (String) = 1
txt (String) = Привет

Hello everybody,
I have a question related to Unicode strings in GDAL
We are using GDAL 3.0.4 and at some point we would like to write to
shapefile a string that contains Russian characters. To give you some
context, we are in C++, we created a OGRFeature and we want to set a
field to the string that contains the Russian characters. My machine
is in English and the language for non-unicode programs is set to
English. I didn’t find in the GDAL doc a definitive answer if GDAL
support Unicode strings for filed values. As a test I converted the
System::String to UTF-8 but the shape file displays only ? for the
characters. If I change the language for non-unicode programs to
Russian then I can safely extract the ANSI string and give it to the
SetField method and the result is OK.
So, does GDAL supports unicede field string values somehow?
Thanks,
Claudiu
