That is thinking the wrong way around, because it should only depend on
the encoding at hand. And the encoding of the source file does not have
to be equal to the encoding of the referenced data, for example a file
that is written to. So if the source file is in UTF-8 and the data is in
Latin-1, then an "Ä" will be built from multiple bytes for the source
file but be only a single byte in the data.
