That's not exactly going to make Emacs save this file as latin4.

Copy-paste does not matter really (at least hardly in Emacs 22.1, and
less in Emacs 23.x).  Once the characters are inside of Emacs, they are
encoded in Emacs' own encoding, and they are only reencoded once they
are written out again.
