Yes, absolutely, because “locale -c charmap” works even if the charset is not
part of the locale name:

$ LC_ALL=zh_CN locale -c charmap 
LC_CTYPE
GB2312
$ LC_ALL=lzh_TW locale -c charmap 
LC_CTYPE
UTF-8
$ LC_ALL=zh_HK locale -c charmap 
LC_CTYPE
BIG5-HKSCS

I don't know of any other convenient way to obtain this information (short of
writing a small C program which uses nl_langinfo(CODESET)).
