There is no `set of characters of selected language'.

Gtk+ uses UTF-8 -- in particular all strings you pass to and
obtain from Gtk+ are UTF-8-encoded (unless they are
filenames that have some special rules).  UTF-8 is capable
of representing the characters of all languages (for some
definition of `all').  If you have texts in other encodings,
you have to convert them, for instance with g_convert().

A for-cycle will probably do whatever `available ones'
means.  You should use GtkComboBox instead of GtkCombo
anyway.
