Actually file encoding should not be guessed or detected,
its better that is clarified from the originating source.

Since you have the control to create the file, it depends on the character set being used to create the file whether its ANSI / UTF-8/ LATIN-1/ SJIS

encoding conversion tests can be done using iconv command
