Comment:

 While UTF8 is a possibly multi-byte encoding, Latin1 (like others) are
 single byte.
 For single-byte encodings there's no way to tell if the encoding is
 correct, as each byte correspond to a character, so at worst you get wrong
 character.
 For multi-byte, there can be _wrong_ sequences.
