Well in my original posting i was asking about the default iocharset ,

Are you talking about wanting to affect the text-mode consoles and/or
the consoles running in an X session?
No , the issues are with text consoles only . The X consoles work perfectly,
a problem i have was with xmms , but there is an ongoing investigation on
that which is font related . So the answer to your question is
Text Consoles only .
For consoles within X, they probably have a menu you can use. I know
you said you used KDE, but > Gnome-terminals have a menu item for that.

Indeed X consoles have menu items to that effect as you describe it
for gnome . Namely, under the Setting menu item there is a Configure
Konsole menu item which is pretty promising to that effect ( it refers
among other things to UTF activation and other related font setting .
And what exactly are you referring to with iocharset?
iocharset is the mount setting that has to be used when you want to
mount a partition with filenames that have charachters that don't
bellong to the original 7bit ASCII code , in other words non English
Charachters .
If you're talking about characters typed in and results printed back,

Yes , that's what i mean .
You probably want to look through the man pages returned by:
apropos locale
It's a pretty promising idea . A quick look pointed out that i probably
haven't activated the locale ( By your reference the setlocale command ) .
I will try that and post back the results . But i think that it's close
to the
solution
