Emacs does not display Unicode on reboot

When I insert - (em dash) into a text file, Emacs initially displays it in order. When I restart Emacs, all instances are displayed as \ 342 \ 200 \ 224.

How can I get Emacs to display characters in the same way as originally? I am using Windows 7 and Emacs 24.3.1. The main mode is Text, and the youngest is Fill.

Try pasting this into your initialization file. He needs to make sure emacs saves the files as Unicode (and reads them correctly afterwards).

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;; set up unicode
(prefer-coding-system       'utf-8)
(set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8)
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8)
(setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'utf-8)                      
(setq x-select-request-type '(UTF8_STRING COMPOUND_TEXT TEXT STRING))
