You can't, normally. In theory, you should put

Content-type: text/plain;charset=utf-8

into the individual *part*. However, many implementations will ignore
the charset= argument on a part.

Instead, the convention is that the data must be transmitted in the
encoding of the *HTML page* which contained the form you are submitting.

So most likely, you need to recode your data.
