Testing WEE on Mint Linux.
(1) write a "hello world" program: the file is utf8
(2) insert a utf8 unicode character: the file becomes iso-8859-1

Which utf8 character are you inserting?
And how are you checking the file's text encoding type? If, e.g., using /bin/file then it just may be a case where the heuristics used give a wrong answer.
(Keep in mind every file can be interpreted as valid iso-8859, unlike utf-8 there are no byte sequences which are illegal.)
