'fencs' is used when reading the help: for instance, on my system (which
has +gui_gtk2 +multi_byte encoding=utf-8
fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,default,latin1) hitting F1 loads help.txt
then ":setl fenc?" answers " fileencoding=utf-8".
Among the runtime files, as I said earlier, options.txt, arabic.txt and
hebrew.txt are already in UTF-8; the others (except farsi.txt) are
compatible with UTF-8. However in vi (the minimal Vim by Bram Moolenaar
et al.) ":setl fenc?" replies "E519: Option not supported: fenc?" so
forcing all help to UTF-8 might be going too far at present.

Florence Flask was ... dressing for the opera when she turned to her
husband and screamed, "Erlenmeyer! My joules! Someone has stolen my
joules!"
"Now, now, my dear," replied her husband, "keep your balance and reflux
a moment. Perhaps they're mislead."
"No, I know they're stolen," cried Florence. "I remember putting them
in my burette ... We must call a copper."
Erlenmeyer did so, and the flatfoot who turned up, one Sherlock Ohms,
said the outrage looked like the work of an arch-criminal by the name
of Lawrence Ium.
"We must be careful -- he's a free radical, ultraviolet, and
dangerous. His girlfriend is a chlorine at the Palladium. Maybe I can
catch him there." With that, he jumped on his carbon cycle in an
activated state and sped off along the reaction pathway ...
