You need to have some metadata - some means outside the text itself to let you know what encoding the text is in. E.g. a combination of two bytes C3 A5 can be interpreted as two characters Ã¥ in ISO-8859-1, but it's also a valid UTF8 sequence representing Unicode character U+00E5 å . There's no way to tell from text alone. Igor Tandetnik
