Just as a matter of practice, ALL of your source files (and data files over which you have any control), should be stored exclusively as UTF-8.
This will avoid this problem, and many, many others. Think how much time you'd saved, just by making sure that you toolset is set to use UTF-8 before you begin. In this day and age, it makes no sense to be using decades-outmoded standards that simply do not meet the needs of the modern connected world.
