I saved the file and visited it in Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-apple-darwin8.11.1, NS 
apple-appkit-824.48), and no errors or warnings were reported.

`C-h C RET' displays:

Coding system for saving this buffer:
   U -- utf-8-with-signature-unix

...

and with the cursor over character 41 (the second character on line 2),
`C-u C-x =' displays:

         character: ó (243, #o363, #xf3)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
        code point: 0xF3
            syntax: w 	which means: word
          category: .:Base, c:Chinese, j:Japanese, l:Latin, v:Viet
       buffer code: #xC3 #xB3
         file code: #xEF #xBB #xBF #xC3 #xB3
		   (encoded by coding system utf-8-with-signature-unix)
           display: by this font (glyph code)
     nil:-apple-Monaco-medium-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x79)

Character code properties: customize what to show
   name: LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH ACUTE
   old-name: LATIN SMALL LETTER O ACUTE
   general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
   decomposition: (111 769) ('o' '́')
