LanguageEnvironment defaultSystemConverter

determines the text converter used for reading text files for your environment. 
Inspect
    (MultiByteFileStream fileNamed: 'file.txt') converter
and make sure it is UTF8TextConverter. If not, you may need to override the 
converter before reading its contents. e.g.
	(MultiByteFileStream fileNamed: 'file.txt')
		converter: (UTF8TextConverter new);
		contents.

If the characters are being decoded correctly then you may need specific 
language support (fonts, rendering engine etc.) for your dialect. See language 
support classes in Multilingual-Languages for more details.
