It uses ISO-8859-1 by default.  You can set it to UTF8 with:

TagLib::ID3v2::FrameFactory::instance()- 
 >setDefaultTextEncoding(TagLib::String::UTF8);

Note, however, that even by default if you try to save a frame with  
characters that aren't a part of ISO-8859-1, TagLib will automatically  
convert the frame to UTF8.
