It does not return what the system may be using.Thus, if you receive data from external sources you cannot in general usethis function to guess what charset it is encoded in. Usestringprep_convert from the external representation into the charsetreturned by this function, to have data in the locale encoding.Return value: Return the character set used by the current locale.
