TextEdit tries to guess the encoding and often gets it wrong. You can
set the encoding it uses in its preferences.
And this code
f := FileStream forceNewFileNamed: 'myfile.txt'.
f nextPutAll: 'bañándose'.
f close
works just fine for me, it produces utf8-encoded text.
(you should not use CrLfStream anymore)
