Thanks,
I did what you said, the expression evaluates to nil; but I still don't see UTF-8 as the default encoding: when I open a new file, Xemacs shows MSW-MB encoding at the bottom.

Ah, sorry; it's not an interactive command.

M-: (set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8)) RET

should give you a much better experience, but I can't promise it's
optimal.  Watch out for single-byte encodings such as ISO-8859 and
KOI-8 being incorrectly detected.  If you have trouble, we can try
tuning the list.

To make that default, put the expression in parantheses in your init file.
