title: Which encoding to use while reading a csv file with pandas?
body: <p>How do we know which encoding type (latin1, utf-8 etc.) to use with what type of csv file?
  I have a csv file that has numbers, and column titles in English, and when I used latin1 as my encoder:</p>
  <pre><code>pandas.read_csv(&quot;Data.csv&quot;,encoding='latin1')
  </code></pre>
  <p>the file was read correctly. I just want to know how do we determine which encoding type to use as I had to get my code to work by trial and error.</p>
