If it is just a question of it being something like a Windows
16 bit text file, there is "iconv" for converting between
any number of encoding formats. (Of course since there are
an infinite number of them, guessing which format the source
is in can be hard). Just as one example I use this to convert
text files my TiVo claims are utf-8, but which are really
windows encoded file so they really are utf-8:

iconv -f windows-1252 -t utf-8 < input > output
