There are two that I know of.  I don't know how "standard" they are.  
One is called a BOM Header, which is some binary code in the first 2 
bytes of the "text" file.  The other is the occurrence of this text 
"charset=utf-8", anywhere in the file (at least according to the editor 
I use: UltraEdit).
