The DWG file which I transform contains the per mill character .

 

In the generated TAB file this character is not present.

 

Even with the string Searcher I can not find it this character in the process.

 

Is it maybe possible to replace the character with ASCII or Unicode?

 

Or is the reason maybe the font used?

Hi,

 

 

MapInfo files does not really support Unicode, so your best bet is probably to use a StringReplacer somewhere before the writer, so that you can replace it or alternatively remove it.

 

 

I recommend that you send a feature with the character in question to the Inspector, so that you can copy/paste the correct character into the StringReplacer.

Hi,

 

 

To save "per mill" symbol character into the MapInfo file, I think that the only way is to set an encoding which can represent the symbol to Character Encoding parameter of the writer. e.g. cp932 (Japanese DOS/Windows).

 

If you need to save the symbol anyhow, it's worth to try. But unexpected side-effects could occur...
