Character set
A collection of elements that represent textual information for a specific language or group of languages. One language can be represented by more than one character set. A character set does not always imply a specific character encoding scheme. A character encoding scheme is the assignment of a character code to each character in a character set. In this manual, a character set usually does imply a specific character encoding scheme. Therefore, a character set is the same as an encoded character set in this manual.
