Reading an UTF8 file, problems

Question

I'm reading a text file with UTF-8 encoding. Some lines of file includes accents. Something like this: EdiçÃo. But on Console and LINQPad output Edi��o instead of.

Here's how to I'm reading the file:

File.ReadAllLines("foo.txt", Encoding.UTF8);

How to fix this?

I can't say what the problem is with LINQPad, but the console is probably set to a different code page and doesn't have those characters in its font. See Unicode characters in Windows command line - how?
