For the iso8859 ones, you should assume that the characters in range(128, 160) really aren't used. If you get one of these, and it is not utf-8, it is a Windows code page. UTF-8 can be recognized pretty reliable: even though it allows all bytes to appear, it is very constraint in what sequences of bytes it allows. E.g. you can't have a single byte >127 in UTF-8; you need atleast two of them subsequent, and they need to meet more constraints.
