Actually providing mock charset was a workaround of not having public method 
for getting the input encoding. I think it would be an overkill to introduce a 
new public method because it will not be used much, as most cases are suffice 
with the existing one (Console is used for interactive user enviornment, and I 
don't believe users would like to see different characters displayed for the 
input).
