latex files encoding

[Alain Muls]

Hi,

I have numerous latex files I created using kile. The encoding is (I 
think) sat to UTF-8 or UTF-16. Since I like auctex, reftex, etc I 
decided to return to emacs, an editor I used until 2 years ago.

Now I have a problem with the encoding of these files. As an example, 
the ë (e diacritic ?) is shown as ï. How can I get emacs to respect the 
encoding of the files.

I also read something about a U in the command-line, that would indicate 
UTF encoded file. I can see that in a compilation buffer, but I cannot 
get that ina latex buffer.

Tx for any advise
