The answer is not going to be simple.
Make sure that every time you save or open the file, the application uses encoding utf-8. Microsoft uses another weird encoding called utf-16 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16). Stay away from utf-16 it if you want to copy-paste anything from the web or web-based tools.

If I create a new column in the attribute table and enter the column name in Devanagari using Microsoft Indic Language Tool on my computer, it seems to work (जिला is shown as the column name). But the moment I save the edits and reopen the attribute table, this gets truncated into something like जिल?. The last character is not really a question mark, something more complex. Any suggestions for making the column names appear and save properly in Devanagari? (The same would be true for Kannada or other scripts, I am sure).
