>  I still think there's something wrong with encoding detection in Geany, setting the 8-bit values aside. I hoped OP examples would be convincing enough, but I'll provide more relevant examples when I encounter that again.

As I said, encoding "detection" is "search for an encoding that will convert the file to UTF-8", it just iterates through the list of known encodings trying each, and first that works wins.  Its not possible to get it "wrong" but it also won't detect that there may be multiple "right"s.  The actual conversion is using the system conversion libraries, so if that gets it wrong please report it there.
