I there a way to ask a Carbon application what character set is currently using? (Something like "GetCurrentlyUsedCharacterSet" returning UTF8, MacRoman8 or WE8ISO8859,...)

There is no way to answer this question. An application (Carbon or otherwise) does not have to be using any one specific character set at any given time. The same application could read data out of a unicode file, a Mac Roman encoded text file, and a ISO 8859-1 file all at the same time. Depending on what kind of text entry fields you might be using, and which keyboard the user has selected, the code might be receiving input in any of a number of character sets.

Your question has no answer because it is based on the false premise that an application can only use one character set at a time.
