Before discussing charset of returned config parameters we should what charset is used for .conf files. As far as I'm aware it's not standartized now.
That's why I created CORE-5198 years ago.
Probably most of .conf files are filled using current system charset. In same charset most of our calls (at least where connection string is expected) expects to receive data. I suppose returning config parameters as is is not a probem in such a case, at least not big new problem that arrived here.
In my own recent config parsers I separate ANSI files from UTF-8 files by BOM and handle them accordingly but I use Unicode for internal processing which Firebird doesn't.
