I suggest you have a peek at some files no the net that do display
Japanese correctly. I suspect they may start with a unicode header
then flip to Japanese for the body or something similar.

There needs to be a way of noting the encoding of a file in some
standard way.
Kludges include:

1. a companion file with the name originalfile.encoding

2. embedded code in first few bytes.

3. hiding it in the filename somewhere.

I think the world is resisting this hoping that non-Unicode encodings
will disappear. See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/encoding.html
