Are you sure that is UTF-8?  It looks like Latin-1 to me.  Try using the 
"-flatin1" option to cscc and see what happens.

In general, it is a bad idea to embed non-English characters in source code.  
Use a sequence like "\u00E9" instead.  It is guaranteed to work on any C# 
compiler, and won't get accidentally corrupted when transferred between 
systems.
