Hmm this does confuse me more. Lets see if an other examples helps me.

If I write an output file using the ide e.g.

openw, 10, 'testfile.txt'
printf, 10, 'Jï¿½lich'
close, 10

If I run this program with iso encoding isn't the result different to utf-8?

Or how can I write it iso encoded independent from the user setting?
In python I have several methods for that.
