Hi,
I'm using the OSM plugin for qGIS to convert some .osm data to
shapefiles. The .osm data in question has cyrillic characters in some
the tags, but when I save as a shapefile something seems to be going
wrong: The cyrillic characters all appear as question marks in the
resulting attribute table. I've tried specifying the encoding as UTF-8
in the 'save vector layer as ...' dialog box (this is the encoding
system used by OSM, correct?) but it doesn't seem to help.
That's a known bug in QGIS Lisboa. It has nothing to do with the OSM
plugin, but with the shapefile driver.
You can use QGIS Master version (where the problem is fixed), save to
GML or spatialite database, or try some of the workarounds mentioned here:
<http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/44009/how-to-read-greek-fonts-iso-8859-7-in-shapefile-attributes-within-qgis-1-8-0>
The success of those workarounds is a bit operating-system-dependent.
HTH,
André Joost
