Description (last modified by zstadler)

On Windows 10 command line, the "ESRI Shapefile" driver seems to be unable to open shapefiles where the file name is in Hebrew.

To reproduce:

  1. Download and unzip the attached zip file to a directory of your choice. 
  2. cd "fire alert towers"

  3. ogrinfo.exe מגדלי_תצפית_אש.shp

The result is an error message: 

FAILURE:
Unable to open datasource `?????_?????_??.shp' with the following drivers.
  -> FileGDB
  -> PCIDSK
  -> netCDF
  -> JP2OpenJPEG
  -> PDF
  -> DB2ODBC
  -> ESRI Shapefile
  -> MapInfo File
...
