I have .txt and .java files and I don't know how to determine the encoding table of the files (Unicode, UTF-8, ISO-8525, …). Does there exist any program to determine the file encoding or to see the encoding?

There are a few options you can use: check the content-type to see if it includes a charset parameter which would indicate the encoding (e.g. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-16 ); check if the uploaded data has a BOM (the first few bytes in the file, which would map to the unicode character U+FEFF - 2 bytes for ...
Open the file in Notepad. Click 'Save As...'. In the 'Encoding:' combo box you will see the current file format. Yes, I opened the file in notepad and selected the UTF-8 format and saved it.
An encoding standard is a numbering scheme that assigns each text character in a character set to a numeric value. A character set can include alphabetical characters, numbers, and other symbols.
If you're on Linux, try file -i filename.txt.
$ file -i vol34.tex vol34.tex: text/x-tex; charset=us-ascii For reference, here is my environment:
$ which file /usr/bin/file $ file --version file-5.09 magic file from /etc/magic:/usr/share/misc/magic Some file versions (e.g. file-5.04 on OS X/macOS) have slightly different command-line switches:
$ file -I vol34.tex vol34.tex: text/x-tex; charset=us-ascii $ file --mime vol34.tex vol34.tex: text/x-tex; charset=us-ascii Also, have a look here.

Open the file with Notepad++ and will see on the right down corner the encoding table name. And in the menu encoding you can change the encoding table and save the file.
