How do I discover my current system encoding?

In QtCreator, they have something that looks like this:

I changed the defualt encodring setting in an attempt to get my ide to display emojis, and now my system is really acting up. Including web pages here:

Not to mention my software will not compile. I am trying to reset my default encoding back to what my system uses... but it seems my system encoding has changed.

How do I find out my system encoding, and what should I change it to?

system qt encoding qt5 qt-creator

    Apparently it's only a font problem with the remote website and has nothing to do with the locale configuration on your system.

    Additionally, the browser has its own locale settings and the locale configuration does not affect the web rendering mechanism (maybe the browser UI but nothing else).

    EDIT:

    Locales

    To show the system locale, simply run locale

    To see all the installed locales run locale -a.

    To switch locale simply run sudo localectl set-locale LANG=<desired locale from locale -a>.

    You can add an additional locale to your system using sudo locale-gen <locale code>.
