B + C is kinda what browsers do. A + maybe C is kinda what you should do, since it's a text file.
Nobody, anywhere, should be using anything but Unicode this day and age. Not in text files, not in databases, not in network protocols. The only valid excuse is compatibility with old stuff, but limit the scope of that as much as possible, because once that text leaves that legacy system, nobody knows what it is anymore. If you had any idea how many coding systems people used to have to deal with, you'd be amazed we ever communicated at all. There are so many old standards for Japanese character sets AND encodings, I won't even try to list them. Chinese is even worse. Even the European languages had multiple character sets and multiple encodings that you might find yourself dealing with.
