This seems to work fine :)

OK. Asking Emacs, it tells us about the variable `locale-coding-system':
locale-coding-system is a variable defined in ‘C source code’.
Its value is ‘utf-8-unix’
Coding system to use with system messages.
Potentially also used for decoding keyboard input on X Windows,
and is used for encoding standard output and error streams.
Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 21.1.
Now my questions to you:
- this \341 thing happens directly when you enter á?
- you are using X on some operating system (e.g. Gnu/Linux,
some BSD)?
- if yes: go to a terminal (XTerm), type in "locale" <ENTER>
and tell us what the output is.
My guess is that your X (if you have one) is set up to trade in
an unibyte encoding (most probably iso-8859-1 aka Latin-1) and
you told Emacs to expect utf-8 (the iso-8859-1 encoding for "á"
is one byte represented in octal as 341 and an illegal byte in
an UTF-8 stream: Emacs is smart enough to have a way to keep those
internally, and that is how it shows them).
But alas, my guesses aren't always right :)
Cheers
