I have a question regarding merging polygon features.  In Arcgis Pro, I have create a polygon that is in the shape of an thick L.  I created it two different way ( and have tried several different times)

1) As a single polygon

2) As two polygons, then merged into a single polygon (Use the merge tool under edit)

When I export the shp file for either of them, I use another program called AbaData to see how the polygon will appear.  (In arcgis, the polygon appears as expected.    In AbaData, the L shape disappears  into more of a rectangle, dropped one of the points.  (see the images)

Is there something I am doing wrong when merging or is this maybe an issue with AbaData? I have not run into an issue with AbaData before but that could be the problem.  Thoughts?

Thanks

Testing a few other programs, the issues appears to be AbaData.  I used the website mapshaper.org and qGIS to test.
