-A character set is officially a deprecated term, with Unicode preferring
-the concepts of I<character repertoire> (a collection of characters) and
-I<character code> (a mapping which tells you what number represents
-which character in the repertoire). We still use it, though, to mean
-the standard which defines both a repertoire and a code.
