Changing the encoding is

	:set fileencoding=utf-8

for instance. This will recode the buffer to utf-8, the rendering should 
stay the same. Saving the file would now write a bytestream which has an 
utf-8 interpretation in accordance to the display.

In any case, I'd suggest to install macvim on the Mac, instead of using 
the Apple-provided vim, because of it's GUI windows and overall better 
integration (file types, copy/paste etc.)
