How to know console output "encoding"

Hello,

   I'm starting a console process and reading the output through a pipe.
The question is, how can I know which "encoding" the output has got
(Ansi or Unicode widechars)?

Is there a way to determine whether the piped-through console is a
WideString version written into by ConWriteW() calls?

Thanks for any pointers to solve this mystery.
