UTF8 file not rendered correctly in preview

Hi,
I have a UTF8 file containing the pound (£) character. If I preview (C-F11) the file, the £ character renders as Â.
How can I fix please?

For me it renders as
£. If I convert the file to UTF-8-BOM (using Notepad++), then XY previews it correctly.

No, it wasn't.
That is the answer. When it's ticked, the preview displays the £ symbol correctly. Thank you.
