Answer

Enumeration files have real limitations with certain special/extended characters that can show up as encoding artifacts like this. Rather than trying to fix the character encoding in the enumeration file itself, defining the same values as a List of Values sourced from Site Parameters (instead of an Enumeration) has worked around this exact display problem, since it goes through a different underlying mechanism than the enumeration file's own character handling.
