Please keep in mind that UTF-8 is not the only encoding in the world.
I had to read the rest of the thread to understand that you meant
"a UTF-8 file with the above chars".
Indeed the stock Emacs distribution doesn't yet handle UTF-8 encoded
asian chars quite right.  IIUC the development code is getting closer,
but isn't quite there yet.
To get what you want you currently need to use Mule-UCS (which I gather
is one of the things that are included in TEI-Emacs).
