File encoding #5

Closed idris-maps closed 3 years ago

idris-maps commented 4 years ago

What is the file encoding you use for the geojson files?

It looks like UTF-8 but some words have these ? characters. Tried a couple, in my experience the problem usually is some special windows encoding, but could not find which one it was.

Example: image

I downloaded directly from the internet archive. Seems like it was some windows encoding. Here is what I got if you are interested: https://github.com/idris-maps/world-historical-gis-data

Hi. All files are inteded to use UTF-8. If you see erroneous characters, do not hesitate to correct them and file pull requests. Please just make sure all files remain UTF-8 encoded.
