I got some Mapinfo vector data with Greek characters in both the
attribute column names and the attribute row strings. Initially, both in
GRASS and QGIS the characters appear messy. I verified, inside QGIS,
that the encoding in question is "cp1253" [0]. Passing this while
importing the data in GRASS, like
v.in.ogr dsn=Roads.TAB out=roads encoding=cp1253 --o
does not work though (using ogrinfo --version, GDAL 1.10.1, released
2013/08/26). Is there a proper encoding instruction to pass to
v.in.ogr, other than "cp1253"? I want to avoid solving this externally.
