Characters are only encoded by Emacs when it writes the buffer to a file or sends it to some program. What you probably wanted to say was ``make Emacs decode the compiler's output as UTF-8''. That is, things need to be set up so that Emacs interprets the byte stream from the compiler as UTF-8 encoding of Unicode characters. It will then decode those bytes into the internal representation used to store characters within Emacs buffers.
