Just for the record, if your editor does not support recoding, the
recode tool will help

    recode latin1..utf8

or using Python

import codecs
import sys
de_latin1 = codecs.getdecoder ('latin1')
en_utf_8 = codecs.getencoder ('utf_8')

print en_utf_8 (de_latin1 (open (sys.argv[1]).read ())[0])[0]
