Not general gchar *strings/variables, see for example:
https://developer.gnome.org/glib/2.54/glib-Character-Set-Conversion.html#g-filename-to-utf8

But I agree with you, it's a reasonable expectation that gchar * is a single-byte encoding and I'd go even further and expect, in case of webkit_web_view_load_html() and webkit_web_view_load_plain_text() and the one for alternative representation, that the passed-in string is in UTF-8, or better the WebKitSettings' default-encoding.

It won't fix the issue of mixed HTML and CSS on its own, but it's a good start. See the mentioned bug #127481 where the guessing on CSS from the actual content of the HTML is possibly done (aka WebPage::loadString() according to the attached patch there, but it is more than 4 years old now, thus it could change heavily meanwhile).
