The default encoding is informed by LC_CTYPE locale in POSIX systems.
(Actually, in ISO C) I don't know the situation of Windows and OS X,
but I suppose similar methods exist.

For the locale mechanism, see Kubota's introduction 
http://www.de.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ch-locale.en.html
(The whole document is a very good introduction of i18n.)
