How to Check Text File Encoding at the Terminal
Guide 1
This method requires Python to be installed. By entering pip install chardet in the terminal to install chardet, and running the following command in the directory where the file to check the encoding is located, it shows what the encoding is along with its confidence.
PS C:\Users\rmsms\Downloads> chardetect .\example.csv
.\example.csv: EUC-KR with confidence 0.99
In this example, the encoding of example.csv is EUC-KR.
It is important to note that even though you install it through pip install chardet, you must use chardetect to execute the command. Make sure not to misspell it.
