Reading shape file with sf::st_read fails to capture encoding UTF8

r encoding spatial shapefile sf

It worked for me when tried to read it with sf::st_read using encoding as WINDOWS-1252 instead of UTF8. I hope it helps!

sf <- sf::st_read("ac_municipios/12MUE250GC_SIR.shp", options = "ENCODING=WINDOWS-1252")
