Additional Information
The value in the language tag in the DBF header is set to 87 (hex 0x57). This is read as 1252 en/us machine which means that the text use the locale code page on the machine.
The text is the DBF file is in UTF-8. There is no way this will be read correctly. The language tag must be set to 0. This results as text being interpreted as UTF-8.
Workaround
Export out a new copy of the shapefile with UTF-8 encoding.
