For that purpose there's a powerful utility called enca. From enca man page:
 If you are lucky enough, the only two things you will ever need to know
       are: command

              enca FILE

       will tell you which encoding file FILE uses (without changing it), and

              enconv FILE

       will convert file FILE to your locale native encoding.
