Hello everyone,

 

I keep facing problems with character encoding of MapInfo tables. Distilling the problem I came to this trivial setup:

 

 

 

That is, the reader for which I specify the Windows 1250 character encoding and the writer for which I specify the Windows 1250 character encoding.

 

I expected to get practicaly a direct copy of the source table together with all the special characters. However, the opposite is true. What I get looks like this:

 

 

 

All of the special characters replaced by underscores. Would anyone have any idea how to make it work properly?

I apologize to those willing to see the whole image. Please use the "open image on new tab" option to see it all.

Hi Jaro,

 

 

One possible reason is mismatch between actual encoding of the source dataset and the reader parameter setting (Caharacter Encoding = windows-1250).
