I created a unicode file:

void main() {
        char *b="ha", *c="ho";
        printf("test %i", b);
        printf("testäöü %i", c);
}

I loaded this into emacs, and reverted the buffer using iso8859-1 coding 
(simulating a wrongly detected encoding).

It then looks like this:

void main() {
        char *b="ha", *c="ho";
        printf("test %i", b);
        printf("testäöü %i", c);
}

I compiled it with gcc -Wall test-utf8.c into a compile-mode buffer.

If I click on the test-utf.c:4:22 label, I get exactly where I want to: On the 
i of %i.

If I revert this buffer with the correct encoding utf-8-unix, then it still 
navigates to the i of %i, so it's all agnostic to whether the encoding 
detected was correct or wrong.
