Thanks Werner, I like you suggestion:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/doc/auctex.texi b/doc/auctex.texi
index 07ad346c..464311e2 100644

+Non-@acronym{ASCII} characters in the name of the master file must use the
+same encoding as the current input file itself.  To make this actually
+work, set the @code{coding} local variable accordingly; in most cases, you
+want to use @acronym{UTF}-8 encoding.  Example:
+
+@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}.

Best, Arash
