You can open all files, except they have local variables set or similar 
settings to open in a different encoding, by setting in your environment LANG 
and LC_CTYPE to some UTF-8 value. In your init file you can set additionally:

        (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

For /some/ instead of all file types you could use statements à la:

        (add-to-list 'file-coding-system-alist '("\\.m\\'" . utf-8))

We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.
