The fact that it is displaying as \u00A3 and not \xC2\x83 says that
vile is built to handle unicode, and is correctly recognising the
file's encoding as utf-8 ($buf-encoding), but is unable to display it.
What is $term-encoding? Which screen did you configure with? tcap,
curses? ncurses?

For the record, this works for vile 9.8m for me on a Ubuntu machine
compiled with the default screen type of "tcap".
