Then either vim is not compiled with everything needed or you have
neither $LANG nor encoding set correctly so vim does not know what your
terminal expects.

fileencoding yes, but fileencodings only sets which types vim tries to
auto-detect, and UTF-8 autodetection should be really safe.
try
set fileencodings=utf8
and then
set fileencodings+=
whatever else you tend to use (just fileencodings+=utf-8 probably won't
work if something with no proper autodetection comes before).
