When I had wrapper the shell of windows (french version), I found this :
  - normally, windows return   cp850  strings
  - if necessary, windows return  utf-16  (UCS2)  strings.

But nothing give the information.
Perhaps it's possible to (binary) read  the begin of string ; if start with 
chr(0)+chr(4)  there are strong chances so that it is utf-16
