Hello, Would someone know a solution for this issue: When I load a MapInfo file with st_read (sf) I have an issue with the Frisian municipality name 'Súdwest-Fryslân'; it shows as 'S<fa>dwest-Frysl<e2>n' :-( Some issue with the encoding... Below you will find a reproducible example, which will also download the data set used. If I load the same data with readOGR, everything is fine. And if I load a comparable data set in ESRI SHP file format with st_read (sf) there is no issue either. So it really has something to do with the MapInfo driver. I did not find a solution yet, so any help would be appreciated.
