    Hi All,
    I am new to Unicode.
    I writing a small tool to get text from a txt file into a edit box.
    Now this txt file could be in any encoding for eg(UTF-8,UTF-16,Mac
    Roman,Windows ANSI,Western (ISO-8859-1),JIS,Shift-JIS etc)
    My problem is that I can distinguish between UTF-8 or UTF-16 using the BOM.
    But how do I auto detect the others.
    Any kind of help will be appreciated.
     

    Regards
