	In this example, the string is attempt to be encoded in ascii format,

	the latin-1 format is attempt to be encoded.

	The tuple must be ordered for the minor to major character set. Example:
	The latin-1 charset contains utf-8 and utf-8 contains ascii, then the tuple is 
	('ascii','utf-8','latin-1'). If another charset is needed (as well as 'utf-16'
	that contains 'utf-8' and it's bigger than 'latin-1') then the tuple is
