The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):
coded character set
A mapping, generally 1:1, from a set of
integers, known as character codes or code positions, to
a set of characters that may include letters, digits,
punctuation, control codes, mathematical and typographic
symbols.
There are several standard coded character sets, the most
widely used is ASCII, generally in its Latin-1 dialect,
with Unicode becoming slowly more common; while EBCDIC and
Baudot are extinct except in legacy systems.
