I suggest that you use UTF-8, or you'll encounter additional problems
later (e.g. when you find that you need the Euro sign somewhere).

To edit UTF-8 text with gvim use the following settings:

  set encoding=UTF-8
  set guifont=-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1
                                " any font with iso10646-1 enocoding will do
  set termencoding=ISO-8859-1   " depends on your locale, if you set
                                " this wrong, you'll be able to see but
                                " not type
