I guessed that you are using (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
on the ISO-8859-1 termianl.  You should set
terminal-coding-system appropriately.

On the ISO-8859-1 terminal, if (terminal-coding-system) is
iso-latin-1, Emacs can display UTF-8 files.  (`é' in UTF-8 can
be displayed.  However, a Japanese Kanji is converted to `?',
because it is not available in ISO-8859-1.)
