Hi Everyone, Is there a way to force the Delimited text plugin to read/process UTF8 encoded .csv's?
I am working with Vietnamese characters, which display fine encoded UTF8. Working from an access database, I export my queries/tables/whatever and save them as a csv, in UTF8 with OpenOffice. That works fine. If I then open my csv with notepad++ or similar, the characters are preserved- great! But when I bring the file in with the Delimited text plugin, the characters are messed up. Why is this? how can I fix it? Alternatively: I can save the tables I want as dbf, which actually load nicely into QGIS as a table, no problems with characters. My tables have Lat & Long columns. How can I tell QGIS to draw points/create a spatial layer based on those 2 columns? Is there a plugin for that that I have missed? Right now my work-around is to load both a csv and a dbf, and then join the dbf to the csv points layer, and save as shapefile, deleting the fields that are no good. It works but it is a little cumbersome. Thanks! Koos Hagg Oh, using QGIS 1.8+ on Windows 7 (64 bit)
