I was so happy to see the answer, but the happiness didn't last long. My encoding is set before the listchars. Here is a snapshot of my vimrc

" Necessary to show the Unicode glyphs, needed for the vim-powerline plugin.
set encoding=utf-8

" Set the font
if has('win32')
set guifont=Consolas:h9:b:cANSI
endif

" Remove Menu from GUI
set guioptions-=m
" Remove Toolbar from GUI
set guioptions-=T

" ===== <Tab> completion =====
" list:longest - List all matches and complete the longest match
" full - complete the next full match.
set wildmode=list:longest,full
" Do not use the menu one can go through by using <Tab>. Simply list all the
" files.
set nowildmenu

" Turn on line numbering.
set number

" Enable syntax highlighting
syntax on

" Remeber 300 last ex-commands
set history=300

" Make a buffer hidden when it is abandoned.
set hidden

" Set the colorscheme
" Note: Keep the colorscheme settings after the syntax on command.
" As it turns out syntax on reloads colorshcheme again.
colorscheme xoria256

" Turn on the highlight of the line with the cursor.
set cursorline
" Set up how to show tabs, end of line, and trailing spaces.
set listchars=tab:►\ ,eol:¬,trail:●
