Can the Fwtool toolkit deal with international character sets other than
standard ascii ?

 ogr2ogr -f   PostgreSQL PG:"host=127.0.0.1 user=dave dbname=foobar
port=5434" -nln foobar -append  itant-tpPoints.shp

Command: INSERT INTO "foobar" (wkb_geometry , "grid_squar", "label",
"mapnum", "objectid", "symbol", "tpid") VALUES

'station, known', 690)

I would normaly use something like

shp2pgsql -c -W iso-8859-1

with the normal postgres tools.  I would prefer to use ogr commands
because the handel .prj files.

Any suggestions
