Is there any command to probe the system default encoding on Solaris
2.6? And any command to change the default encoding? As far as I know, Java
can do that like this:
"System.out.println(System.getProperty("file.encoding"))"
I am wondering there is a counterpart in the Unix command to implement
that.
Any hint will be helpful, Many thanks.

Plain ASCII. But Solaris supports UTF-8 (and some other things), too -
when the user or the whole system runns one of the *.UTF-8 locales
(en_US.UTF-8, ja_JP.UTF-8, etc.) ...

This has nothing to do with "Solaris", per se, and everything to do with
"The java runtime that sun ships with solaris".

It's a java question, and should be asked on java programming newsgroups.
