I'm probably misunderstanding you, but I feel something unprecise in
your answer.

ISO encodings are different using of 80-FF section, they are not subset
of Unicode. Example :

frédéric (with correct encoding) 
fr�d�ric (ISO seen in UTF8)
frédéric (UTF8 seen in ISO)

This is for french, it's different for cyrillic or arabic scripts.

Maye be this related, when code.page=65001 is set in properties, I'm
unable to see ISO files correctly when clicking the 8 bits option, so
that I need gedit for those kind of tasks. 

Because I'm usually dealing with XML, the cookie way is a good solution
for me : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>.

Thanks a lot for Scite.
