It would be useful to know the value of 'fileencoding' in Vim as
well. 'encoding' is the encoding used internally by Vim.
'fileencoding' is the encoding used when writing a buffer out to a
file. Check the results of this:
:verbose enc? fenc?
It could also be that this Vim was not compiled with multibyte
support. You can check this by executing ":version" and looking for
the + or - in front of "multi_byte".
