It might help to set LANG and LC_CTYPE to some UTF-8 value. Another  
step would be to avoid set-language-environment. Both means – and  
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) works fine for me.

Finally, if the files' extension is quite unique, you could use  
something like this to bind a file name extension to some particular  
file encoding:

	(add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '("\\.tex\\'" . utf-8))

This can be done temporarily.


If your files really use a particular mark at the beginning (EF BB  
BF), you could augment magic-mode-alist, but this does not directly  
set the file's encoding.
