Find encoding of XML file

I got an file beginning like:

‹ ´»W“äH–ú~Eß~…

I know it's an XML file, but I can't find the correct way to decode and encode it. Any ideas?

Tried encoding in Python with the following results:

>>> text = "‹      ´»W“äH–ú~Eß~…"
>>> print(text)
‹      ´»W“äH–ú~Eß~…
>>> text.encode("utf-8")
b'\x1f\xe2\x80\xb9\x08      \x03\xc2\xb4\xc2\xbbW\xe2\x80\x9c\xc3\xa4H\xe2\x80\x93\x1e\xc3\xba~\x7fE\xc3\x9f~\xe2\x80\xa6'
>>> text.encode("windows-1252")
b'\x1f\x8b\x08      \x03\xb4\xbbW\x93\xe4H\x96\x1e\xfa~\x7fE\xdf~\x85'
