This can be done in the GUI via the Input character encoding field in the Look & Feel section. The command-line tools all have an --input-encoding option.

I can get to the look and feel section but then don't find an input character incoding field. I don't know what cp1252 means.
It is in the Conversion section: Common Options: Look and feel (there is more than one with that name )

It's leftover from the good old days: DOS Code Page 1252 which was mainly used in part of Europe
