This seems like this was in response to the following question:
     Which 8bit encoding should I declare [UTF-8]?

Which I should have just clicked 'Enter' on, but typed 'y' as 'yes please pick UTF-8'. Which again confirms the encoding, which I presumably didn't read. So I guess the problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair.
