How do I determine my MATLAB default character encoding scheme?

Using unicode2native with a single argument, it defaults to "the MATLAB default character encoding scheme". How do I find out what my default is?

Another solution:
feature('DefaultCharacterSet')

Use java class:
import java.nio.charset.Charset
encoding = Charset.defaultCharset()

On my box, this returns "windows-1252", which sounds right. Are we sure that MATLAB and Java are always in sync on this?

"MATLAB, unless you specify a particular encoding will use the computer's (user's) default encoding."

Matlab 2009a, WindowsXP:
get(0, 'Language')
% >> 'en_us.windows-1252'
