The are all correct, but don't display the right thing.<br>
<br>
The basic property of encodings is that, if you don't know the encoding,<br>
you cannot properly display it.<br>
<br>
There are tools for guessing the encoding (nkf eg), but without knowing<br>
whether it is iso8850, iso-2022, utf8, or whatever strange it might be,<br>
there is NO way to properly display it.<br>
<br>
So what do you mean with correct?<br>

No, it was probably **displayed** in 8859-1. You computer environment<br>
assumes a certain file encoding, but that might be wrong.<br>
