I had a similar problem importing tab separated files created from
Microsoft Excel
(which are in UTF-16).  This is how I solved the problem using the
Emacs editor.

The default Unicode format for Microsoft Excel and Wordpad is
UTF-16. These files can be converted to UTF-8 using GNU Emacs 22.1

    * Open the file with Emacs

    * Enter the command C-x RET c utf-8 RET

    * You will then be asked what command you want this encoding to apply to

    * Enter the command C-x C-w then enter a new file name

    * The file you have saved will be UTF-8

It's that easy!
