I think it should simply use the charset of the locale of the current rsync process. Different processes can have there own differing locale settings each creating / reading there own files each with different representations. The file system itself doesn't have a locale IIUC. It would be up to the user to setup the correct LANG setting as much is it is up to the user to insure the rsync is in his path.
