Hi Borys, I agree to specify the ENCODING option. LDID/87 does not have definite meaning (depending on the environment), so avoiding to write shapefile with the value would be nice. If the output encoding is UTF-8, QGIS/OGR will generate cpg file that contains UTF-8. This behavior must be ideal.

Hi, Thanks to all for the feedback :) I'm really not very familar with all the OGR encoding stuff. I applied my pull request [1] to allow wider testing. Many thanks to Minoru Akagi for two other patches. One of them is applied[2], the second not, because my patch covers this isue too. Your
