Non-ASCII is a bit vague ;-). You need to determine how these
characters are encoded and handled by Emacs and by your environment to
get to the root of the problem.

Put the cursor on a non-ASCII character in Emacs and type
M-x describe-char-after RET
What does the resulting help buffer say about the character set?
While you are in the buffer that you want to save, type
M-x describe-coding-system RET
What is the result of that?

What is the character encoding that you use there? Can you type
$> echo ñ | od -t x1
on your terminal, so we can see an example of what you use there?

What encoding does your version of TeX expect?
Hope this helps, benny
