Charset Detector :: Summary
Posted by jpluimers on 2014/03/31
In case I ever need it: [Wayback] Charset Detector :: Summary.
It is empirical (you cannot 100% reliably find out what character set / encoding a file is), but has a good score.
A similar problem is detecting the language. There too you can get a good score.
