What it looks like on the screen depends entirely on the software you
use to display it. If your file is in encoding X and you display it
using software that thinks it's in encoding Y, then it will look like
garbage, regardless of the values of X and Y. All you're telling us is
that your display software can handle iso-8859-1 and can't handle utf8.
