CSV Text Decoding Problem - Unrecognized Characters

Hello everyone!

I am trying to read information from a csv file but I get a problem with the character decoding, the text in some of the fields are in Portuguese and the special characters are shown as black question marks, as shown in the picture bellow.
When I try to pass this information to a geojson file I get this kind of problem:

“TIPODEPADRAODACONSTRUCAO”:u"Templo/Clube/Gin\ufffdsioouEst\ufffddioes",

The csv file is enconded as cp1252.
I am using DecodingSpaces plugin to save the geojson file.

Any way to solve this problem?
Thanks

Hello, I think the CSV file should be encoded as UTF-8
