How do I determine what the character set is of my database?

A create database statement looks something like this:

create database test

logfile 'c:\orant\database\test\log1test.ora' 200K,

'c:\orant\database\test\log2test.ora' 200K datafile 'c:\orant\database\test\systest.ora' 30M maxdatafiles 50
character set WE8ISO8859P1
noarchivelog;

I have a database that I did not create and I need to know if it is US7ASCII or we8iso8859p1. Is there a data dictionary that can give me this info?
