I don't know about the context, so I may be misunderstanding something
too, but I can't see any direct relation between desktop character
encoding and the speech synthesis voice encoding.  For simple examples
consider using multiple voices implemented in different encodings or
working with multiple languages.  One can usually set his desktop
encoding simply to UTF-8, while the encoding(s) used by the voices is
just an (ideally hidden) technical detail.
