Here's a function that, given a `str` containing a vcard in some
encoding, guesses the encoding and returns a canonical representation
as a `unicode` object.
def fix_encoding(s):
m = u'BEGIN:VCARD'
for c in ('ascii', 'utf_16_be', 'utf_16_le', 'utf_8'):
try: u = unicode(s, c)
except UnicodeDecodeError: continue
if m in u: return u
return None
