How do I determine the charset on my Debian machine?

a machine (an Linux OS - whatever) doesn't have an inherent charset.
what exactly are you asking??

The 'locale' command shows your current locale settings ($LANG and a
couple of $LC_* for several aspects of the locale). If the value has a
dot in its name, the part after the dot is the charset you're currently
using. My locale command gives me
| LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
so I'm using UTF-8.

If there's no dot, look up the name of the locale in /etc/locale.gen,
you'll find the corresponding charset there.

or use `locale charmap'.
