Please try that in the non-GUI session where you first set the
terminal coding-system to cp850.  Juanma said that doing so and using
a Leim input method (which is guaranteed to produce correct charcaters
in the buffer) shows these characters correctly.  So I expect the same
to work with a file (unless that file was also produced in a non-GUI
Emacs session...).

Which leaves us with input problem...
