Hi,
I had a similar issue, and the solution I used works but is labour intensive. I'm working mobile right now so I can't send you the link, but the solution is on the Esri forum somewhere. It concerns setting a registry key to a certain value. After this, restart ArcGIS (assuming you have this) add the shapefile, and then export it by rightclicking it in the table of contents->
export data. Save it as a different file, and the attribute data will be in UTF8.
I'll see if I have the link somewhere tonight.
Cheers,
Tom
