I saved the file and visited it in Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-apple-darwin8.11.1, NS 
apple-appkit-824.48), and no errors or warnings were reported.

`C-h C RET' displays:

Coding system for saving this buffer:
  U -- utf-8-with-signature-unix

...

and with the cursor over character 41 (the second character on line 2),
`C-u C-x =' displays:

        character: ó (243, #o363, #xf3)
preferred charset: unicode (Unicode (ISO10646))
       code point: 0xF3
           syntax: w    which means: word
         category: .:Base, c:Chinese, j:Japanese, l:Latin, v:Viet
      buffer code: #xC3 #xB3
        file code: #xEF #xBB #xBF #xC3 #xB3
                   (encoded by coding system utf-8-with-signature-unix)
          display: by this font (glyph code)
    nil:-apple-Monaco-medium-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x79)

Character code properties: customize what to show
  name: LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH ACUTE
  old-name: LATIN SMALL LETTER O ACUTE
  general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase)
  decomposition: (111 769) ('o' '́')
