Hi, What software do you use for opening the shapefile, and does it let you to select the codepage to use? Dbf file in the shapefile can not tell what character encoding it is using and many programs are just seelcting the default code page of the client computer. I would guess that WFS server is creating shapefiles with the UTF-8 which is used also in GML. You can select the codepage at least with OpenJUMP 1.4 (must be activated first from the settings) and QGis.
