- Description
- The ESRI Code Page (CPG) file is a simple text file used in conjunction with shapefiles created by ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) software, such as ArcGIS. The CPG file specifies the character encoding used for the attribute data stored in the DBF (database file) that accompanies a shapefile. This is important for correctly displaying special characters (such as accents or symbols specific to languages other than English) within the attribute data.
