In the important case, displaying text, SciTE doesn't determine the default character set but tells Windows to use the default character set. When creating a font to display characters, one of the parameters, lfCharSet is set to this value. SC_CHARSET_DEFAULT -> DEFAULT_CHARSET.

Whatever it is set to by Windows.

The default character set is not determined in SciTE. There is some encoding discovery performed in CodePageFromCharSet.

The default value is SC_CHARSET_DEFAULT.
