Encoding issue (Bulgarian language)

[NevenD]

I've noticed some issues while trying to parse dbf shp file. While geometry is parsed nicely I'm having some issues with encoding Cyrillic language. (picture below, Notice the CROP_NAME: property)

I'm importing zip using File Api. Example:

     var fr = new FileReader();
      fr.onloadend = function(e) {
        var contents = e.target.result;
        shp(contents).then(function(data) {
          console.log(data);
          // save parsed shp file data to store
          that.dispatch("_UPDATE_PARSED_SHP_", data);
          // remove layer
          that.get.olMap.removeLayer(that.SHAPE_FILES);
          var vectorSource = new VectorSource({
            features: new GeoJSON().readFeatures(data, {
              featureProjection: "EPSG:3857"
            })
          });

Is there some property that I should pass into shp function or encoding code? Scrolling through recorded issues I saw that there is recorded issue on encoding but to be fair I didn't manage to find solution for my problem.

btw. awesome job with library...keep up the good work :) Here is link to shp file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y226s898ntj6yx5/encoding.zip?dl=0

Same issue with german umlauts (ä,ö,ü,ß…) displaying the attributes. Is there already any encoding property available?

[calvinmetcalf]

do you have a .cpg file included with your shapefile? if not then that's what you need to include

[NevenD]

Ok, i ll try with .cpg file and with "UTF-8" in first line. Do you think that it should be enough?

[mholthausen]

Worked for me. I had to use ISO-8859-1 in my case.

[calvinmetcalf]

@NevenD we default to utf-8 so if you are having issues it's because that's not whats being used, ISO-8859-1 (aka latin1) probably won't work for bulgarian, utf16le aka ucs2 might work or cp1251 I don't know enough about bulgarian to know what encoding to use

[NevenD]

@calvinmetcalf Great, I'll try that. Thank you :)
