Howdy,
Put the line
%%!TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
near the top of the file before doing a Save As... and choosing
Unicode. That will tell TeXShop to treat the input file as UTF-8 when
it opens them again. While there are schemes to detect UTF-8 very
dependably I don't think they're foolproof.
You can also set the default save/read for new files as UTF-8 in
TeXShop->Preferences.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
