How to display non-ascii in emacs?

I am looking at text files of Portuguese words in firefox, and I see accented characters correctly, but when I download the text files and open them in emacs, I see n\372mero (which is número), rela\347\343o (which is relação), and so on. What needs to be done to display the words correctly in emacs?

Try M-x revert-buffer-with-coding-system. It looks like the file is in latin-1.
