Well, Geany does remember the auto-detected (or manually set) encoding
for session files, i.e. for files which were open the last time Geany
was opened. But of course, this is only of limited use.

For a more general solution, you could use 'in-file encoding
specification' like

# encoding = ISO-8859-15

Detailed information about this can be found in the manual, see
http://geany.org/manual/#in-file-encoding-specification

Enrico
