Re: [i18n-drafts] [questions/qa-what-is-encoding] Font and character sets (#523)

When referring to a 'character set' in that text the article is NOT referring to a 'charset', nor a 'code page', etc.  It refers to a group of characters used for a particular purpose (as defined in the article), such as all the characters needed to write Malayalam.  The Unicode character set referred to is the Unicode Standard repertoire as a whole - and fonts usually address the needs of only a subset of Unicode at a time.  A typical font will however support all the characters needed for use of, say, Malayalam - ie. the character set required to write that language.
