True it probably isn't needed in most cases, except where it may be
included in an html file that is not utf-8 and the CSS file actually
contains utf-8 characters. In fact, according to w3c the character
encoding is usually reliably determined form the first few bytes of the
file anyways [http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#q23].
Elsewhere it is said CSS files inherit the charset from the HTML file
in which they are included, or default to utf-8.

Make sure you send the correct header or meta for your html files i.e.
charset=utf-8. For CSS files include as the first line: @charset
"utf-8";
Why should one include that as a first line? I normally save my files
in UTF-8 format, do not use that as a first line, and have never
experienced problems with my CSS files (I regularly use a meta tag
charset=UTF-8 in my (X)HTML).
Am I missing something?

The only excuse for using IE is ignorance (or testing)
(stupidity is a reason, _not_ an excuse).
