BBEdit and TextWrangler on OS X both do a good job at handling different encodings.

There are a number of programs that appear to be able to read many different encodings – though I prefer the type that actually tells me about where format errors are when a file is loaded. Then, many editors that claim to be able to read all those encodings cannot display them; as for that, I don't care about font choice and the aesthetics of display, as I'm only interested in plaintext.
