when I type 'C-x ret f' I see the prompt:

Maybe you need a: (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)
I already have that (see below). If I respond to the prompt with a
bare
carriage return the '-u' in the mode line changes to -- and the
file won't
be saved with utf-8 encoding. It seems that shouldn't happen.
Once you've set GNU Emacs to handle file contents as UTF-8 you should
not need to open files with C-x RET f etc. It should stick to this
encoding automatically when you open them with v or e in dired-mode
or with C-x f. For me a header line like
;;; -*- mode: Text; coding: utf-8; -*-
works fine and converts every stubborn file contents. Another way is
to use at the file's end:
%
% Local Variables:
% mode: LaTeX
% fill-column: 160
% coding-system: utf-8-emacs-dos
% End:
%
%%
