Look at the $LANG environment variable, that's probably a good start on most
systems. The various LC_ environment variables if you want to do more
localization work.
That's the way it is on my Linux system but that doesn't make it standard.
C program to print out current preferred character encoding:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <locale.h>
#include <langinfo.h>
int main()
{
setlocale(LC_ALL, "");
printf("%s\n", nl_langinfo(CODESET));
return 0;
}
