Of course. When you launch GNU Emacs make it see environment variable  
LC_CTYPE be like de_DE.UTF-8. Then it would automatically switch to  
UTF-8 use. Otherwise this statement in some init file can make it:

        (prefer-coding-system   'utf-8)

Problems can arise when the file-name-coding-system is now different ...
