Not just this, the text inside of the file should be utf-8 encoded... Where this file come from (which software generate it)?
You have to make sure that it is generated correctly (right encoding), in thunderbird for instance you can specified it if I remember. In outlook it may be impossible, so you will have to convert it mannually. In linux you have utility for that : iconv http://superuser.com/questions/193312/how-do-i-change-character-encoding-of-a-text-file-in-openoffice-org-writer You will have to adapt for your case though You could try first to just reproduce a subset of the file by creating a new .ics file manually with a couples of rows, to make sure that encoding is the source of your issue or just try to convert your file (make backup of the original).
