Let me simplify:
Each piece of text coming from an underlying system or platform has an
encoding associated to it (this is deeply tautologic), the way that
encoding is determined is often locale dependent, or platform dependent.
This includes environment variables (if they are text), arguments, file
names ( except files names may not be text), pipes (if they are text),
consoles (of which there may be several), etc
