Mojibake detector and repair
Undo the classic UTF-8-read-as-windows-1252 garbling (é, “, €) — each repair re-encodes and verifies the bytes decode back to valid UTF-8, so nothing is guessed. Double-mojibake repairs pass by pass.
- One family of mis-decode is covered: UTF-8 bytes shown as windows-1252/Latin-1 — the overwhelmingly common web case. Other pairs (Shift-JIS, KOI8-R mixes) are refused honestly, not half-fixed.
- When bytes do not decode back to valid UTF-8, the text is reported untouched — a partial repair would invent characters.
- Prevention beats repair: declare charset=utf-8 and the whole class disappears.
