Description

An ESRI Code Page file is an optional file that can be used to specify the code page for identifying the character set to be used, for example UTF-8. It is part of the ESRI shapefiles used in the ArcGIS software, which stores the geometric location and attribute information of geographic features. Shapefiles are a spatial data format that can work with and be edited in ArcGIS.
