Title: Use UTF-8 as default encoding

Current default (ISO-8859-1) is kind of obsolete - probably most of new code is written using UTF-8 encoding.

Also the current default can cause false positive CS errors in eg. line length check (line with unicode characters is longer than it actually is when treated as iso-8859-1).
