What works for me:
Insert this into the top of the file:
<!-- -*- coding: utf-8; -*- -->
Do "C-x C-v RETURN" to reload the file.
I then see a 'U' in the second column of the status line. Sometimes
there are characters in the file which are not UTF-8 and so which don't
display properly; they appear as '\366' or suchlike... a backslash and a
three-digit number. Attempting to save the file, I'm queried about
them. But I do a search-and-replace on these and when they're all
removed, the file is properly saved in UTF-8.
hth,
