In the general case, this is difficult, and "solving" it might be worse
than not. See:
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html
It is much better if you don't have to guess the file type: that's exactly
the point of adding "document type" metadata to a document. If you can
explain your situation more more --- why you're guessing document types
--- we might be able to offer a different approach.
Best of wishes to you!
