[i18n-drafts] [tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/index] Content vs text content (#691)

xfq has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/i18n-drafts:

== [tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/index]  Content vs text content ==
[source] (https://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/index) [en]

> Content is composed of a sequence of characters. Characters represent letters of the alphabet, punctuation, etc. But content is stored in a computer as a sequence of bytes, which are numeric values. Sometimes more than one byte is used to represent a single character. Like codes used in espionage, the way that the sequence of bytes is converted to characters depends on what key was used to encode the text. In this context, that key is called a character encoding. There are many character encodings to choose from.

I think it’s better to say "**Text** content is composed of a sequence of characters", because a web page can have other non-text content such as images, which are not composed of characters.
