In trunk at this moment source file encodings should default to UTF8 if
you don't take some trouble to change them, this being rather important
since unicode is in the scala spec as you illustrate above. Hopefully
you're talking about 2.7, which is more encoding buggy (and I have no
idea what additional confounding factors eclipse throws into the mix.)

If eclipse defaults to displaying scala source files in something other
than UTF-8 (regardless of the default platform encoding) I would say
that is a bug in the eclipse/plugin side. You should have to specify
-encoding to scalac (or whatever the eclipse equivalent is) to change it.

Ouch. I believe eclipse on windows defaults to cp1252. I remember
the controls to make files UTF-8 are in a somewhat arcane place.

Eclipse uses the default platform encoding, as do almost all Java applications.

Per-file encodings aren't yet implemented, but will be before 2.8.0.
