I don't know. :)

I checked it and I did start emacs with --unibyte. I set it ages ago
and completely forgot about it. I didn't edit utf encoded files in the
past, so it was no problem.

I removed the --unibyte option and now everything is working fine.
UTF-8 files are opened in UTF-8 mode automatically.

Thanks for the help everyone.
