I guess that you are using teTeX-2.0, because teTeX-3.0 processes this without any problem. The solution to this problem for teTeX-2.0 is to pass --translate-file=cp8bit, either like this: latex --translate-file=cp8bit foo.tex Or by adding %& --translate-file=cp8bit.tcx to your TeX source (first line) and setting parse_first_line = t in texmf.cnf.
