I doubt you can automate the detection of the encoding used on files it it's not specified somehow in the files themselves. Try playing around with AIX file -i and see what it thinks of your input files.

1. I have a shell script which creates a file using cat command. How can i find what encoding the file follows (e.g. UTF8, ANSI)?

In a bash script:

Hi, I am trying to determine the encoding for the file, because to convert to UTF-8, it seems as though I have to know the encoding of the source.

sqlite_libencoding
SQLITE_LIBENCODING(3)SQLITE_LIBENCODING(3)sqlite_libencoding - Returns the encoding of the linked SQLite librarySYNOPSIS
string sqlite_libencoding (void )
DESCRIPTION
The SQLite library may be compiled in either ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 compatible modes. This function allows you to determine which encoding
scheme is used by your version of the library.
Warning
The default PHP distribution builds libsqlite in ISO-8859-1 encoding mode. However, this is a misnomer; rather than handling
ISO-8859-1, it operates according to your current locale settings for string comparisons and sort ordering. So, rather than
ISO-8859-1, you should think of it as being ' 8-bit' instead.
When compiled with UTF-8 support, sqlite handles encoding and decoding of UTF-8 multi-byte character sequences, but does not yet do a com-
plete job when working with the data (no normalization is performed for example), and some comparison operations may still not be carried
out correctly.
Warning
It is not recommended that you use PHP in a web-server configuration with a version of the SQLite library compiled with UTF-8 sup-
port, since libsqlite will abort the process if it detects a problem with the UTF-8 encoding.
RETURN VALUES
Returns the library encoding.
