You could try `M-x set-language-environment' UTF-8 RET.
Only affects new buffers, so it has to be done before creating Slime
related buffers.

It might be necessary to call with-open-file with an :external-format
argument, like

 (with-open-file (infile filename :external-format '(:charset "utf-8")) 
   ...)

CLISP might assume a different environment if it runs inside Emacs.
