I don't know vim specifically, but I'm 99% sure it will let you
specify the encoding,. Certainly emacs does, so I'd not expect vim to
fall behind on such a fundamental point. Anyway it's also likely
that it defaults to utf for new files. Anyway your job is to make
sure that the encoding line matches what the editor is using. Emacs
also looks in the first few lines for that same encoding line, so if
you format it carefully, it'll just work. Easy to test anyway for
yourself. Just paste some international characters into a literal
string.
