WinCPToUTF8 from unit LazUTF8 or CP1251ToUTF8 from unit LConvEncoding

The encoding of text files depends on what program you used to create
it. Windows applications usually create either system code page or
UTF-8, sometimes UTF-16 LE. Linux apps mostly UTF-8.
Maybe the function GuessEncoding from LConvEncoding can help.

You can use WinCPToUTF8 under Linux too. It simply keeps the UTF-8
there.
