That makes it clearer! GNU Emacs 22.1 is pretty old and has only rudimentary UTF-8 support. The recent GNU Emacs 24.x (24.3. was just released) versions are much better.
How to handle encodings? For GNU Emacs you can use file-local variables as in:
;; -*- mode: Emacs-Lisp; coding: utf-8-unix; -*-
or
%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: LaTeX
%%% TeX-engine: xetex
%%% fill-column: 99999
%%% coding: utf-8-unix
%%% TeX-command-default: "XeLaTeX5E"
%%% End:
%
The first example is meant for the file's beginning, the latter for its end. (Notice the different comment characters!) When you see, i.e. know, that GNU Emacs is using the wrong encoding to display (present) the file's contents, you can use C-x RET r <encoding name> RET (revert-buffer-with-coding-system) to try another encoding. Then record this value in a file-local variable and save the file.
It's all in the documentation.
