Description:
------------
Hi,

today I discover a problem with mb function mb_detect_encoding().

I have a string "chr᚝any" in czech language. It seems that this function everytime return UTF-8 encoding, even if I load the text from a file with encoding "windows-1250" or "ISO-8859-2".


Reproduce code:
---------------
// test.txt is text file with charset "windows-1250" or "ISO-8859-2"

$string = file_get_contents('test.txt');

var_dump(mb_detect_encoding($string, mb_list_encodings(), true));

Expected result:
----------------
SJIS

Actual result:
--------------
utf-8

I look again on it and problem is with "᚝" in word with no other accent chars in it.

What if you pass the function the possible encodings and never "auto" 
which always has UTF-8 as first. Something like like this:

echo mb_detect_encoding($str, "SJIS, sjis-win");

It is because I want to use it for finding which encoding I have in input string. It is posible that some user send some data in one of these encoding....utf-8, windows-1250 and ISO-8859-2.

It is important to me to find in which encoding it is in.
