A while ago when I was trying to figure out how to represent IPv6 DNSBLs, I came up with a way to put B-trees of IP ranges into the DNS, using TXT records as binary blobs. That was a little unusual but it is perfectly valid since TXT is defined as a sequence of octets. Unless you know the specific application that is using a TXT record, I would not assume it contains any particular character set or encoding.
