Different character encoding for mapexport

[Anonymous]

I am looking for a way to change the text encoding for attributes attached to objects when exporting to a shape file via mapexport. Unfortunately the *.chp file always lists "1252" as encoding, and greek characters get destroyed when saving to a shape file. 

I tried to add this to the mapexport.ini file:

[GML2]
Driver:GML2_FEATURE_ENCODING=ISO-8859-7
Driver:GML2_OUTPUT_ENCODING=ISO-8859-7
Driver:GML2_MAPPING_FILE_ENCODING=ISO-8859-7

but this did noch change anything. I also tried to use "UTF-8" which is the encoding I would like to have, but again this did not change anything.

any ideas?

Can you attach an example of your data?

For example, the Russian letters "ё", "й", etc. are transferred to shp.
