My requirement is to validate the encoding used in the incoming file(csv,txt).If it is encoded with UTF-8 format,then the file should remain as such otherwise i need to chnage the encoding to UTF-8.
Please advice me how to proceed on this.

ludevit
LUDEVIT(1) General Commands Manual LUDEVIT(1)
NAME
ludevit - converter from standard Slovak into L. Stur version
SYNOPSIS
ludevit [options][file]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents the ludevit command.
ludevit converts text from standard Slovak into the verion designed by L. Stur.
OPTIONS
-h --help
Show help and exit.
-D --nfkd
Normalize the output text to NFKD unicode normalization
-d --nfkd-hack
Normalize the letters d and t with caron to NFKD unicode normalization, keep the rest in NFKC.
-eENC --encoding=ENC
Use ENC as input/output encoding. While you can use any encoding supported by python, probably only one of utf-8, iso8859_2,
cp1250, cp852 or mac_latin2 makes sense.
-oFILE --output-file=FILE
Instead of standard output, write the translated text to the FILE
USAGE
ludevit acts as a filter, reading by default UTF-8 encoded text from the standard input and writing UTF-8 encoded text to the standard out-
put. Alternatively, if a file name is given as an argumet, ludevit will translate this file (in UTF-8 encoding).
NOTE
Due to technical restrictions, the program is actually installed under the name ludevit.
