No, the default is windows-1252 (checked by testing with a fresh

which says that the default is windows-1252.

BTW, this page says: "New-authored locale-native UTF-8 content is

does not participate in the processing of content." but I don't see
how one can declare the encoding for text files read locally with the
"file:" URL scheme.
