 Here is what I've got: Windows locale

 {{{
 systeminfo
 System Locale:             sv;Svenska
 Input Locale:              sv;Svenska
 }}}

 Originally, I've got

 {{{
 chcp
 850
 }}}

 But since it's not working, I tried using

 {{{
 chcp 1252
 }}}
 and the Nordic OEM:

 {{{
 chcp 865
 }}}

 before importing, in the cmd and from within GRASS in the command console.
 Nothing really changed.
 The rest of the reading I did was way over my head, sorry. But here's a
 link to the original shape file I'm having issues with. I can't attach it
 here because it's a bit over 2MB and I'm afraid that taking a sample from
 it and exporting it might change the encoding on export:
 https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ptgaf5owco63f0/stockholm.zip?dl=0 (the link
 should be valid for a month).
