You needed to iconv your source   That said  the TEX-based compiler invoked by latex doesn t really support variable-length encodings  it needs big libraries that tell it that certain bytes go together  Xelatex is Unicode-aware and works much better

I m not sure whether I got your problem but maybe it helps if you store the source using a UTF-8 encoding    I m also using  usepackage utf8  inputenc  in my LaTeX sources and by storing the files as UTF-8 files everything works just peachy

I use LEd Editor with special  Filter  feature  It replaces    o  with    and vice versa in its own editor  while maintaining original    o  in tex files  This makes text easily readable when viewed in LEd Editor and there is no need for special packages  It works with bibliography files too

Save your file in UTF8 format   Verify the file format using the following  UNIX  command   file -bi filename tex    You should see   text x-tex  charset utf-8   Convert the file using iconv if it is not UTF8   iconv --from-code ISO-8859-1 --to-code UTF-8 filename txt  gt  filename-utf txt

Convert your document to utf8  LaTeX just reads your text as it is  If you want to use the utf8 input encoding  your document has to be encoded in utf8  This can usually be set by the editor  There is also the program iconv that is useful for converting files from iso encodings to utf    In the end  you ll have to use an editor that is capable of supporting utf   I have no idea about the status of utf support on windows  but any reasonable editor on linux should be fine
