Hi, have you tried using fileencodings, instead of just fileencoding?

I set this from my _vimrc:
" set encoding as a variant of Unicode, as a superset of everything:
set encoding=utf-8
" list fileencodings as a list of encodings I am likely to use:
set fileencodings=ucs-bom,utf-8,cp949,cp1361

I don't have fileencoding (without the s) set to anything, but I'll be
looking into it.

I think something like the following should work for you:
set encoding=utf-8
set fileencodings=utf-8,latin1

Cheers,
Kyungjoon Lee
