Today I Learned: Finding .csv encodings in Emacs

I was trying to load some .csv export from my bank into a Pandas dataframe to do a bit of digging into my finances. However, I couldn't load it due to decoding errors and none of the typical encodings didn't help. ChatGPT was also not of any help¹. Emacs came to the rescue. I just opened the .csv file in Emacs and checked the buffer variable buffer-file-coding-system, whose value you can check using the keybinding C-h v. Turns out the encoding I needed was UTF-16LE. Fixing that, pd.read_csv worked like a charm.
