The Erlang source code files are assumed to be Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1). This is well documented. The problem, as explained by Toby, is that the
editor you are using is writing the file in UTF-16(probably) . So you either need to use another editor or configure the one you have to write Latin-1.
This is also
not a problem with the Windows version of Erlang; you would get the same result if you compiled your UTF-16 source on linux, etc.
It is very unusual to store source code for any programming language in UTF-16. What editor are you using?

I get the same compile errors when I typed in the code and saved it.
The author of that article downloaded the sources, compiled and ran
them on his linux system, so it is not a download issue.
If the Windows version of the Erlang shell is sensitive to encodings,
it is a language related issue, not a download issue.
