For chrome or firefox, you could use TextDecoder to decode any text to unicode:

function fetchAndDecode(file, encoding) {  
    var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();  
    xhr.open('GET', file);  
    xhr.responseType = 'arraybuffer';  
    xhr.onload = function() {  
      if (this.status == 200) {  
        var dataView = new DataView(this.response);  
        var decoder = new TextDecoder(encoding);  
        var decodedString = decoder.decode(dataView);  
        console.info(decodedString);  
      } else {  
        console.error('Error while requesting', file, this);  
      }  
    };  
    xhr.send();  
  }

fetchAndDecode('gbkencoded.txt','gbk');
