Well, to me at least the term character set does not define a mapping or encoding. It just specifies a list of characters and their numeric representations or mappings not included.
To say "character set mapping" or "character set encoding" might be more complete. Though I tend to use the term "code page" because that's what I've heard the most down thru the years.
If someone here wants to suggest a particular terminology to use I'd be happy to adopt it in this list.
