It does not, it has no prolog and therefore no EncodingInfo.
In that case, it needs to be valid UTF-8 or valid UTF-16 and it
is a fatal error if there's any invalid bytes:

It is a fatal error if an XML entity is determined (via default,
encoding declaration, or higher-level protocol) to be in a
certain encoding but contains byte sequences that are not legal
in that encoding. Specifically, it is a fatal error if an entity
encoded in UTF-8 contains any ill-formed code unit sequences, as
defined in section 3.9 of Unicode [Unicode]. Unless an encoding
is determined by a higher-level protocol, it is also a fatal
error if an XML entity contains no encoding declaration and its
content is not legal UTF-8 or UTF-16.
