how to detect wrong encoding

Issue

This program write on 2 files.
In the right file the string is "IL RITROVO AL 1° PIANO"
In the wrong file the string is "IL RITROVO AL 1NUL PIANO".
In the second case, the "°" charater has wrong econding; how can I detect this case before I write it?

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter; 

public class WrongWriter {
    static File wrongFile = new File("C:/Users/utente/Desktop/wrongFile.txt");
    static File rightFile = new File("C:/Users/utente/Desktop/rightFile.txt");


    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

        byte[] wrongBytes = new byte[]{
                73, 76, 32, 82, 73, 84, 82, 79, 86, 79, 32, 65, 76, 32, 49, 0, 32, 80, 73, 65, 78, 79, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32, 32
                };


        write(wrongFile, wrongBytes) ;

        byte[] rightBytes = "IL RITROVO AL 1° PIANO".getBytes();

        write(rightFile, rightBytes) ;
    }



    static void write(File file, byte[] bytes) throws IOException{
        OutputStreamWriter stream = null; //10227
        stream =  new OutputStreamWriter( new FileOutputStream( file )  , "ISO-8859-15"); 
        stream.write( new String(  bytes ) ); 
        stream.flush();
        stream.close();

    }

}

Solution

Thanks, but this is what I wanted, but I'm not be able to do with CharsetDecoder....
