Or you could check the users locale (LC_CTYPE). Though hardcoding it
to UTF-8 works for me.
You can also verify that it is valid UTF-8 first, the probability of
a non-UTF-8 file validating as UTF-8 is so small that for all
practical matters it does not happen.

Well, if it is not explicitly mentioned, then you repeat the mistake
of HTML not specifying the tab size, and thus making the use of tabs
unreliable ;)
