  Here is a code that can be used for this:

#ifdef HAVE_LANGINFO_H
#include <langinfo.h>
#endif

static char*
get_locale_charset_name()
{
        static char* charset = NULL;

        if (charset)
                return charset;

#ifdef _NL_CTYPE_CODESET_NAME
        charset = nl_langinfo (_NL_CTYPE_CODESET_NAME);
#elif defined(CODESET)
        charset = nl_langinfo (CODESET);
#elif
        {
                char* locale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE,NULL);
                char* tmp = strchr(locale,'.');
                if (tmp)
                        charset = tmp+1;
        }
#endif
        if (!charset)
                charset = "ISO-8859-1";
        charset = g_strdup(charset);
        return charset;
}

 But in general you may not need it - just query a font with *-* as
registry-encoding and X will try to return the one that fits best for current
locale.
