Well, you probably should write to the authors if you want to know. As a guess I suspect that it is looking at all of the quality values and then determining the lowest and highest value it sees. From there it would be quite easy to figure out the encoding used.
In other words, given only one sequence it is hard to tell what the encoding is. Given 1,000,000 sequences it would be trivial.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-
