That should be 'replace' instead of 'repalce', I assume you just mistyped it
here. In any case, you could use 'UTF-8', which is a good default encoding
and which further allows the full range of Unicode characters.

Hmmm, weird, I'd say that ISO-8859-15 should support the accented 'é'.
However, this could also be caused by how you look at the file. If the
editor you use to open it uses a different encoding, it will display
garbage.
