How can I set VIM'sVim's default encoding to UTF-8?

I'd like to contribute to an open source project by providing translated strings. One of their requirements is that contributors must use UTF-8 as the encoding for the PO filesPO files.

I'm using VIMVim 7.3 on Linux. How can I be sure that VIM'sVim's encoding is set to UTF-8, so that I can edit and save the .poPO file the right way?
