We have investigated the Shannon entropy around an exceptional point (EP) in an open elliptical microcavity as a non-Hermitian system. The Shannon entropy had an extreme value at the EP in the parameter space. The Shannon entropies showed discontinuity across a specific line in the parameter space, directly related to the occurrence of exchange of the Shannon entropy as well as the mode patterns with that line as a boundary. This feature results in a nontrivial topological structure of the Shannon entropy surfaces.
