      UTF8 and ANSI, whatever this means in your case, do share a common set of characters.
      If your data consists only of these characters there is no way to determine the “user-wanted”
      encoding. If you like to work mainly with UTF8 document one thing you can do is to set the
      new document specifics like so.

      If you want to understand the encoding stuff better, you may want to read this article .

      Cheers
