Are you saying that this char was an error? If not, then it does seem like you want to use windows-1252 (which is a perfectly normal coding-system, tho it happens to be a lot more common for a valid utf-8 file to also be a valid windows-1252 file, so it's more difficult for Emacs to automatically choose the right coding-system unless you tell it that you prefer utf-8 more than 1252).
