Wrong! Actually the original also has offending characters in geographic  
names:
 \207 and \222.

This is getting very weird.
There are 2 different issues :
1. will the file display correctly?
2. will it save in utf-8?
I could save in utf-8 only by manually specifying utf-8-mac when saving  
(changing the buffer’s mode to utf-8-mac is not enough). However the  
display remains garbled.
I could display correctly the other accented characters only by erasing  
\207 and \234, though \222 would not hurt in that regard.
