 It appears that the user is currently not given a choice regarding which
 encoding they would like to use for new shapfiles.

 I suggest adding an option in New Vector Layer dialog to choose the
 encoding when first making a new vector/shapefile. (Layer -> New Vector
 Layer -> New Vector Layer dialog)

 P.S. A big thank you to the people who spend their time to implement these
 important features!

 (Note: I have made this new ticket based on #1310, which seems to be
 fixed.)
