Hmm... so it should always be utf-8, good to know, thank.
Now why/where was it set to utf-8 before and why/where does it now override
it with latin-1 is the question.
Could you try with completely vanilla Emacsen (i.e. no extra package from
/Library/Application Support/Emacs, no .emacs, ...). The most likely
problem is that some code somewhere calls standard-display-european.

Do you have any particular reason to doubt me ?
I told you several times already that it's only a symptom and not the cause.
Of course, I may be wrong, but you seem really bent on the idea that
disp-table is evil and loading it is the cause of your problems, even tho
I haven't seen any evidence of it.

Cool.
