Yes. that's it. Open up your file in vim and do this command:

:set encoding=utf-8

Then save and exit. Then run the "file" command and see if it says
"utf-8" instead of ASCII. Once it has UTF-8 encoding I predict your
characters will appear correctly. When I do this, the file has to have
a utf-8 character (á or ñ for example) in the file before it'll say
utf-8 in the "file" command.
