For linux (and some unix) try "locale".

For chcp there is a good note on metalink (179133.1). It solved a lot of my character set issues (and I discovered that windows has two different settings for the characterset: registry for GUI and user/system environment for DOS emulation).

I hope I didn't write anything naive (usually I read HJR's posts... I don't give advices)
