Emacs always did this automagically for me, but
this should force a certain encoding for read
and write operations. See the help for
`file-coding-system-alist' to understand how it
works. You might want to try with a test
".txtt" extention if it needs experimentation
to get right. It sure beats littering each file
with instructions how to align the editor!

(setq file-coding-system-alist
      (cons
       '("\\.txt\\'" . utf8)
       file-coding-system-alist) )
