Description

Unknown text encodings can be guessed by legacy Python 2 applications before decoding content. This module helps importers, web tools, and document pipelines identify likely character sets.

It is imported by other software and returns guesses, not certainty. Callers should handle low-confidence results and malformed input gracefully.
