In general, it is not possible to always detect exactly what the character encoding of a text file is – there’s nothing stored in a text file that tells you explicitly what the character encoding is. You can make some intelligent guesses, but don’t expect that you’ll always be able to find out exactly what the character encoding of a text file is.
The link that cebewee posted in the comments has more information on how to detect what the character encoding of a text file is.
