So does anyone have bullet proof settings such that I will never see that dreaded \201 again? I am *almost* capabable of just removing them trough some
hook function when I start emacs, but taht seems very evil.


You have a few choices:

a) set in the file's header something like
        <comment> -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
   where <comment> is the comment character for this type of file

b) set file-coding-system-alist, auto-coding-alist -- You can customize this variable:
         ("\\.tex\\'" iso-latin-9-unix . iso-latin-9-unix)

c) some of these:
     (set-language-environment 'Chinese-BIG5)
     (set-default-coding-systems 'euc-jp-unix)
     (set-keyboard-coding-system 'mac-roman)
     (set-clipboard-coding-system 'sjis-mac)
     (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
     (set-file-name-coding-system 'utf-8)

d) combinations of above
