We always use UTF-8.
We usually add a mandatory comment that contains non-ASCII characters at the
top of the file, and a unit test that verifies it. It's too common that some
developer screws up the file by opening it with wrong encoding.

Example:

*.properties:
----------------
# DO NOT REMOVE: räksmörgås

PropertiesEncodingTest.java
------------------------------------
foreach *.properties:
   assertFirstLineEquals("# DO NOT REMOVE: räksmörgås")

This has save our ass many times :)
