I see the problem.  This is a very important bug, and I wish I knew more
about encodings and stuff so that I could fix it.  Make sure to submit a
bug report on it.  In fact, there should probably be several separate
reports: One that Dia doesn't assume that files without specific encoding
is latin1, one that it doesn't read latin1 encoding correctly (and probably
not others, either), and one about how to input non-ascii chars.
