How to open a file in the required encoding?

Question

C++ / C#

How to explicitly specify the encoding of a file? string. And how to convert a file from one encoding to another? Those. not knowing in advance from which to which. As in a notebook, I opened it in one encoding, I wanted it - I recoded it into another. Those. I need something like the iconv function in PHP, here by analogy.

Фактически, вам нужно сделать то, что делает блокнот: по признакам определить кодировку и сделать прослойку для потока байт, которая будет перекодировать налету.
