In 2.4, the term "character string" in the first definition seems to have
the same meaning as the term "A sequence of zero or more characters in the
Universal Character Set (UCS)" in the fourth definition. Why are different
terms used?

(I suggest defining the term "character string" (or "string") once and then
using it, hyperlinked to the definition.)
