I can't say I can rely on mb_detect_encoding(). Had some freaky false positives a while back. The following code will detect when you need to enconde or decode it.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. if (preg_match('!!u', $string))
  2. {
  3.    // this is utf-8
  4. }
  5. else 
  6. {
  7.    // definitely not utf-8
  8. }
