Output:

 German.vcf:
    Sören Täve Nüßlebaum
    Encoding: windows-1252

Greek.vcf:
    Βαγγέλης
    Encoding: windows-1253

Hebrew.vcf:
    אפרים קישון
    Encoding: windows-1255

Ukrainian.vcf:
    Віталій Володимирович Кличко
    Encoding: windows-1251

utf-8.vcf:
    孔夫子
    Encoding: utf-8

Please note that Hebrew.vcf and utf-8.vcf have been read properly without
any CHARSET parameter in the VCF files: UTF-8 is the default character set 
and windows-1255 (Hebrew) had been set as the default fallback value in the 
AnsiFilter constructor.
