How do I deal with foreign characters

I'm kinda lost to how I should deal with foreign characters with regards to PHP/Mysql.

 

First of all I'm receiving a plain text file which I'm guessing could potentially be received in a range of encoding formats. It seems like it's rather difficult to accurately detect the encoding type but there is  mb_detect_encoding(). Potentially I could just stick to the 'likely' default encoding saved by notepad which at the moment seems to be ANSI or rather extended ANSI.

 

I'm hoping someone could perhaps give me any pointers to hopefully not spend the next 3 days in a ramble of pages...
