You should be able to simply re-import the file with the correct encoding and only changes will be applied. You will even see a list of the changes.
Perhaps it will help you to know that import encoding may be specified this way (the locale used must be already present/generated on your system): LC_ALL=sk_SK.UTF8 /dspace/bin/dspace import-metadata ... I think it's only been tested with UTF-8 recently, but you can try and see.
