The file was processed in Emacs and I've specified the coding to be utf-8. In desktop version of FBreader, it's rendered fine. How to force an encoding in OIP version of FBreader? I only see options to set default encoding (which is already utf-8).

Maybe FBreader defaults to an 8-bit encoding, and has no problem with HTML files where the encoding is explicit in the header, but with text files with no indication, it doesn't guess or guesses wrong. CoolReader probably has a different default or guesses right.
