Additional Information
Both those if statements will be false, so the Reclass will return None, which maps onto NULL. This is as expected. the value passed into the expression will be a unicode string. See https://docs.python.org/2.5/ref/strings.html >>> s1 = 'Végétation' # this is a string literal >>> s2 = u'Végétation' # unicode string >>> print(s1) Végétation >>> print(u2) # both look identical Végétation >>> s2==s1 # but they are not equal False >>> s1 'V\x82g\x82tation' >>> u2 u'V\xe9g\xe9tation' >>>Workaround
Add encode (UTF-8) in the expression.
