[OS X Emacs] recognize UTF 8?

When I save a file as UTF-8 (containing the beta character as the only
non-ASCII character), it doesn't seem to be recognized when loading
(it is loaded as iso-latin-1-unix, which is the first choice according
to the priorities.)
Shouldn't it recognize the UTF-8?
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/info2www?(emacs)Recognize%20Coding
doesn't say that it can't do it.
I'm asking here because I don't know if this is supposed to work. (I
know a couple of workarounds myself, -*-coding:-*- and the like, -
that's not what I am looking for.)
Would it make sense to have Aquamacs preferentially load everything as
UTF-8 unless another coding is recognized?
More generally, would it make sense to have Aquamacs store buffer-
local variables in the resource fork of every file (even though
resource forks are awkward and not really used much in modern OS X
days)?
