I plan to install something like this.  Does it make sense to you?

+If you're using non-ASCII characters in the name of the master file and
+Emacs doesn't detect the master file correctly, you should give Emacs a
+hint about the correct coding of the current file like this:
+
+@example
+%%% Local Variables:
+%%% coding: utf-8
+%%% TeX-master: "ä-master"
+%%% End:
+@end example
+
 You should always set this variable to the name of the top level document.  If
 you always use the same name for your top level documents, you can set
 @code{TeX-master} in your init file such as @file{init.el} or @file{.emacs}.
