When exporting to shapefile from GeoServer/WFS one can specify encoding in the request, for my case I specified UTF-8.

This shapefile has a cst-file that establishes the encoding (similar to cpg from ArcGIS).

When I read this in Workbench/Server 2022.2 the fields have encoding cp-1252 and some garbled characters. If I change the filename to from cst to cpg the attributes come in with the correct encoding.

Is this fixed in later versions, or should it be reported as a bug… ?
