In general, if you don't know the encoding of a file then there is no way to
find out. For example there is no way for a machine to tell the difference
between a file in iso-8859-1 and one in iso-8859-2. A human being can do
better, because even in a schema, accented letters are likely to appear in
the middle of words that make sense in some written language. So you just
have to try different possibilities and see if they make sense.
