Hmmm... it doesn't. Doing everything just as you say above, I still get
the little boxes in place of the non-English characters.
When after reloading the buffer, I run "describe-coding-system" on this
buffer, I get:
=============================================
Coding system for saving this buffer:
u -- mule-utf-8-unix
Default coding system (for new files):
u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8)
Coding system for keyboard input:
nil
Coding system for terminal output:
0 -- iso-latin-9 (alias: iso-8859-15 latin-9 latin-0)
Defaults for subprocess I/O:
decoding: u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8)
encoding: u -- mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8)
Priority order for recognizing coding systems when reading files:
1. mule-utf-8 (alias: utf-8)
2. iso-latin-1 (alias: iso-8859-1 latin-1)
3. iso-2022-jp (alias: junet)
4. iso-2022-7bit
5. iso-2022-7bit-lock (alias: iso-2022-int-1)
6. iso-2022-8bit-ss2
7. emacs-mule
8. raw-text
9. japanese-shift-jis (alias: shift_jis sjis)
10. chinese-big5 (alias: big5 cn-big5)
11. no-conversion (alias: binary)
Other coding systems cannot be distinguished automatically
from these, and therefore cannot be recognized automatically
with the present coding system priorities.
The followings are decoded correctly but recognized as iso-2022-7bit-lock:
iso-2022-7bit-ss2 iso-2022-7bit-lock-ss2 iso-2022-cn iso-2022-cn-ext
iso-2022-jp-2 iso-2022-kr
....
==================================================================
I don't know... does utf-8 or mule-utf-8 contain latin-4, greek, and/or
German characters? (This file has some of each.)

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have this (with the semi-colon) at
the top of the file.
Let me also say that, though the little boxes appear in the emacs
buffer, the proper non-English characters appear when the file is loaded
into firefox. (Yeah, this emacs file is an HTML page.)
