You either have to know apriori what encoding was used by the app that created the text, or you can make various levels of educated guesses depending on how much analysis you want to do on the text. If the text could come from a variety of places and in a variety of encodings then you might provide your user with a popup menu of common encodings, display a sample of the text in the selected encoding and let the user choose the one that looks right.
