If the C strings are being read in from a file, you can use the stringWithContentsOfFile:usedEncoding:error: or initWithContentsOfFile:usedEncoding:error: methods which will try to guess the encoding and return the string and the encoding it used back to you. But even these methods are just guessing at the encoding.
