Description
Tree-sitter supports UTF8, UTF16-LE, and UTF16-BE by default or a DecodeFunction for other encodings.
I made an attempt to add support for other encodings in #136 but it had several problems.
If anyone needs this feature and can implement it properly, please go ahead and submit a new PR.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the problems in the earlier attempt from pull request #136 and the Tree-sitter support for UTF8, UTF16-LE, UTF16-BE, and DecodeFunction. Define a complete approach for supporting other input encodings, then verify that the implementation handles those encodings without the problems identified in #136.
