In the "save as" dialog you can select the encoding, as well as what  
to do with line endings. Then you can ask Final Draft to open the  
saved file directly, instead of using copy and paste. I don't know if  
there is any way to specify the format of the copy thing, that should  
be always utf-8 I would expect.

But what I would recommend first is to see if Final Draft can be set  
to use utf8. There isn't much reason for most programs to not use  
utf8 in this day and age (hope I won't get flamed for that).
