The upper buffer's contents is obviously presented in an ISO Latin  
encoding, presumingly ISO 8859-1 or ISO 8859-15, the lower one shows  
an UTF-8 contents in obviously the same ISO Latin encoding (é is in  
UTF-8 C3 A9, or: Ã ©). But it seems more likely that (almost) the  
same UTF-8 contents is displayed once in UTF-8 (correct) and once in  
ISO Latin (incorrect).

To make both buffers appear (in) the same (encoding) you should put  
into your .emacs file:

	(prefer-coding-system    'utf-8-unix)

or set environment variables like LC_CTYPE or LANG with UTF-8 in it,  
like mine: de_DE.UTF-8. This setting will make GNU Emacs to  
automatically use UTF-8.

At least if works for my buffers with UTF-8 contents in ediff ...
