I see at the bottom of the window (without the square brackets): 

    [   fileencoding=  ]

OK, that's one issue. In your vimrc file, add "set fileencoding=utf8".
Restart vim. Your files will be saved with utf8. 

Now check "set encoding?" 

What does that say? 

If it says nothing, add "set encoding=utf8" to the vimrc file. Now vim
should show the files with utf8 encoding.
