This article by Bentley indicates that their software (and who knows, maybe
other software) expects shapefile characters to be encoded as ISO8859-1.
They recommend resaving the layer with a changed encoding.
You could try this.

There's also this "encoding fixer plugin"
https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/shapefile_encoding_fixer/
Here are some other people struggling with the same problem

Maybe some of this will help.
