Type locale in a shell to see if this is the case. Maybe you will be happier with LANG=es_ES or something like this. For opening old, wrong, files it might work to do C-x RET c utf-8 RET C-x C-f /path/to/file RET. If this wasn't it, please show us the file that got saved, and tell us what you see on screen after opening the file. -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
