You certainly cannot assume that. Would that it were so easy to find out the character set for a locale :-(.
There's some code in initdb that you might emulate, though I can't say that I trust it a whole lot.
Best thing would of course be to check the encoding of the database. I realized I've made a bad assumption that the initdb locale has anything to do with the character encoding of the database - it doesn't. There must be some already existsing trusted way to get the character encoding of a database?
