SYMPTOM:
Using custom shape feature in ESRI map and set the key value to be Korean text. Custom shape and Korean text are not shown in GEO attribute value in ESRI map in Strategy Web 10.x
If GEO Attribute values are English or Number, custom shape works correctly in ESRI map.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE :
1. Create a custom shape with Korean text values (Using QGIS for creating SHP files)
2. Copying the Custom shape file into the plugins folder
3. Adding "SIDO NIM" (Korean text values) into GEO attribute
4. Only English values are shown.
CAUSE:
This is known issue in Strategy Web 10.x. The root causes is Strategy uses "ISO-8859-1" as the default encoding to parse SHP files, which leads to the failure in loading non-English geo name and further result in that the polygons not plotted.
WORKAROUND:
Read the encoding from the .cpg file (if exist) and use this encoding (or 'iso-8859-1' as default) to parse .dbf file.
ACTION:
This issue has been addressed in Strategy Web 11.0. Upgrade to this version to take advantage of the issue correction.
The Strategy Internal Reference Number for the issue discussed in this technical note is DE41840
