It would be worth improving the error message here. I could also add a `--encoding latin-1` option to `sqlite-utils insert` to help in consuming files that are stored in charsets other than `utf-8`.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",711649325,

That error message could detect if the `file` command is available and, if it is, suggest running `file filename.txt` to detect the character encoding.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",711649325,

But i neee to be able to switch the encoding used to read from that based on the `--encoding` option.

I think the way to do that is to open the file in binary mode and then wrap it in a codec reader:
```python
fp = codecs.getreader(encoding)(fp)
