character set
This term is a technical specification used primarily in computer science and software engineering. It refers to the mapping between numeric codes and the visual glyphs they represent, ensuring that data remains consistent when transferred between different systems.
While "character set" is often used interchangeably with "encoding" (like UTF-8), they are technically distinct: the character set is the repertoire of characters, whereas the encoding is the specific algorithm used to represent those characters in binary.
