unicode-use-latin1: preference buffer-specific variable

Default value: 0

This option controls how Epsilon translates files encoded in the Unicode UTF-16 format. If zero, Epsilon translates these as it reads them to the UTF-8 encoding, and performs the opposite conversion when you save them. If nonzero, Epsilon translates to the Latin 1 encoding instead of UTF-8.

In UTF-8 format, any characters outside the range 0-127 are represented as multi-byte sequences of graphic characters. Latin 1 format displays the proper glyph for characters in the range 128-255, unlike the UTF-8 option, but it will perform no conversion at all if a UTF-16 file contains any characters outside the range 0-255.
