charset
Symbol encoding table
Charset is short for character set—a defined collection of characters that a computer system can recognize and display.
Different charsets support different writing systems: ASCII covers basic English letters and symbols, while UTF-8 handles virtually all world languages.
Web developers specify charsets to ensure text renders correctly: The page was garbled because of a charset mismatch.
